SphereWars

SphereWars is a fantasy skirmish game based around player built warbands. Using the I Go, You Go format-- the game requires miniatures, a ruler, and six sided dice. Combat, however, is fought simultaneously. An opposing roll will determine which unit bypasses the defense of the other. Magic is also done simultaneously—with one side attempting to counter the magic of the other. Using “power gems”, players attempt to bluff each other into over spending their gems and leaving them vulnerable for the next spell. Every warband must have a leader figure, but that leader can only command figures within 5". Courier figures are required to deliver orders to any units outside of that range. Orders range from bonuses to automatically passing morale checks. Currently there are four factions are available: The Alliance (aka The Legion of the One Hundred Hearts), The Soimi, The Herd's of Urueh and the Adepts of Malesur. On September 2011 a new race is released:The Newborns, that will also bring powder, technology and war machines to combat. The miniatures for the game are 28mm in size, and they are unassembled and unpainted. Official Website: www.spherewars.com
