And as with previous editions, there are team cards to use a variety of other races should you have the appropriate minis (or are ok proxying).įor the gameplay, the basics are you’ll field a team of 6 or so players and try and score touchdowns. However, the short of it is that each player fields a team from the Warhammer universe: humans, trolls, skaven, undead, chaos, etc… This version comes with minis for the human team and the skaven team.
