WHAT IS GRIMPATH?
Grimpath is a trading card & fantasy wargame where two or more players assume the roles of powerful warlords, leading warbands into strategic battles for supremacy.
Each player positions themselves at opposite ends of a 10x10 unit battlefield and brings a deck of 30-40 cards, a D10 dice counter, and some fantasy miniatures to represent their warbands. Each player's territory spans half of their side of the battlefield.
Players determine initiative by having a roll-off and then shape the battlefield by strategically positioning terrain and accessories on their territory, filling any number of spaces as they rolled initiative. ​
After setting the stage for the epic confrontation to come, players set their dice counters to 10, draw 7 cards, and wait for the attacker to signal the start of the game. ​
During a match players take turns drawing cards and putting them into play, moving their minis around the battlefield and attacking each other, until they have beaten their opponent into submission.
WINNING THE GAME
Each player choses a Warlord card & Miniature that they will use to represent themselves on the battlefield.
Players will take turns drawing cards, recruiting minions, and attacking each other, until they have dealt damage to the enemy warlord(s) equal to to its health total—killing it.
The last warlord standing, WINS THE GAME!
WARGAME + CCG
Grimpath combines Miniature Wargaming with TCG's in a whole new way! Whenever your Minion & Warlord cards enter play, you'll also put a fantasy miniature onto the battlefield along with it. Whenever that miniature is attacked, you'll use the card to track it's abilities, health and more!
Gameplay is easy to learn, and you can expand the abilities of your warband however you like by building your own decks and combining cards together to create unique and immersive strategies that bring your wildest fantasies of conquest and tactical wargaming to life—on your tabletop!
Play on any battlefield, build a castle and fill it with minions for you to command with the cards in your hand!
