In Wrath of Kings, Resilience can very much mean the difference between keeping a figure on the field and having them taken off as a casualty. Sure, there are your wounds backing you up, but if you’ve got a good Resilience score, you might never have to worry about taking a wound.

The Honor and Treachery: Battle for Ravenwood 2-Player Starter Box includes models for the Goritsi and Naiser factions, a quick start rule set, terrain templates, and unit cards. This box was designed as an inexpensive way for two players to begin playing Wrath of Kings, learn the rules, and start building their own forces.

The Wrath of Kings: Honor and Treachery 2-Player Starter Box is set to release March 12th 2016 and will retail for $59.99.

The Wrath of Kings Sneak Peeks continue with a look at the new Pack Master Kozakar for House Goritsi. Kozakar is a skilled huntsman, usually deploying far in advance of allied forces. Utilizing his unique tracking and pathfinding skills, he can lead other Goritsi units across the battlefield further and faster than they ever could alone. Pack Master Kozakar is an imposing presence on the battlefield, as you can see from his art and figure on an 80mm base, which includes his three pets.

So people have asked, “Just what does the future hold for Wrath of Kings”?

Sometimes just reading over a set of rules isn’t enough to really get how a game works. Occasionally, watching others play a game is what it takes to make the system “click” for you. Perhaps the way they explain a set of rules can help any lingering questions you might have. To help you out, we’ve made a Gameplay Tutorial Video. See how the basic game mechanics work by checking out this quick, introductory video.
