Fantasy Commander

Fantasy Commander is a fast-paced, strategic hexagonal wargame and board game. The game features highly detailed 1:72 scale (20mm) resin miniatures set in the fantasy world of Signum.

Core Gameplay & Features

The game blends classic tabletop miniature wargaming with deck-building and hand-management mechanics:

Simultaneous Mechanics: Unlike traditional turn-based games, it features a unique order-and-command structure that limits down-time, allowing players to act almost simultaneously.
Dice & Color Orders: Order tokens (generated via dice rolls) are secretly or openly assigned to units. The color of the token (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow) determines individual unit activation and gameplay initiative.
Tactical Deck Customization: Players build both an army list and a custom Tactics Deck before the match. Strategy can even shift mid-game through changing card play and terrain manipulation.
Unit Scaling: Armies feature three tiers of units—Conscript, Veteran, and Champion—each tracked using specific unit cards measuring health, defense, movement, and stamina.

Factions & Lore

The game’s narrative takes place following the collapse of the Holy Grypharim Empire. Players command various powerful factions:

The Empire of the Iron Nest: The fortified remainders of the human empire.
The Styx Undead Empire: A dark faction composed of skeletons, vampires, and cursed souls.
The Blackmarsh Horde & Underdark Union of Spiders: Expansions that introduced unique beastial and subterranean units.

Supported Game Modes

Designed for 1 to 4 players with matches lasting roughly 60 to 90 minutes, Fantasy Commander supports multiple play styles:

Scenario Mode: A classic player-vs-player head-to-head duel centered around objective control.
Battle Royale: A mode offering complete army-building freedom for multiple players.
Single-Player Narrative Campaign: A solo-friendly option featuring scripted missions (such as “The Night Queen”) designed to tell a story while teaching core mechanics.
