Shadow Wars is a fantasy strategy game for two to four players, ages 10 and up. Playing time is usually 1 to 2 hours. Each player chooses one of the four rulers within the game: Human, Dwarf, Elf & Dark Elf. Each of these rulers have different advantages, disadvantages and play styles. Some rulers have strong soldiers and defenses while others can dominate the board with powerful magic and summoned creatures. Each ruler has vastly different units, buildings and spells, which allow players to build their own unique strategies against different opponents. No two games are ever the same in this epic game of conquest!

Players each start with a Capital city and 2 towns. From these locations they slowly build up their resources to obtain additional towns, cities and special buildings. Each building will give that player an additional advantage, but also takes resources to build. Some examples of buildings in the game are: Mage Towers, Stables, Armories and even rarer buildings such as Burial Crypts, Monasteries and versatile Guilds.

Along with assorted bonuses the buildings also allow rulers to build more powerful soldiers and summoned creatures. Each time you play a specific ruler you are given multiple choices which make each game interesting and fun!

As players grow their kingdoms, they spread their armies, build forts and conquer new lands. The last player with a Capital city left standing is the victor and King of Syrrith.

Plus, many new expansions and additional rulers will be available to players in the future. Some of the new rulers that are planned are: Minotaur, Satyr, a Dragon like race, and a Lich King's army. Players will also have the option of customizing their own unique rulers, units, buildings and spells which is sure to make the games play value last!
