Description

In Forge War, you'll take on the role of a blacksmith in a medieval kingdom, gathering ore, purchasing weapon designs, and forging weapons for adventurers to fight back the darkness. As you progress, you'll invest in your empire, managing quests and resources to succeed. The game is a rewarding challenge of aggressive investment, with quest management becoming increasingly difficult as they progress and require more resources. With a unique blend of grid movement, worker placement, and role-playing, Forge War offers a complex and engaging experience for 1 to 4 players. Each round cycles through three phases, from moving pieces on a hex grid to maximize resource production, to a market phase with action blocking mechanics, and finally to quest acquisition and management. With playtime ranging from 60 to 180 minutes, Forge War is a game that will keep you invested for hours, testing your strategic skills and ability to adapt to the ever-changing kingdom.
