Warhammer & Warhammer 40K
Grim, brutal, and unrelentingly dark, Warhammer (fantasy) and Warhammer 40K (sci-fi) are about war without end. In the Old World, corrupt nobles and monstrous creatures fight over a doomed land. In the far future, the Imperium of Man wages endless war against alien horrors and chaos gods. If you like your RPGs dripping with atmosphere and moral dilemmas, nothing else compares.

“Weight” refers to how complicated a game is, often rated on a 1-to-5 scale. A “light” game (Uno) is quick and simple, while a “heavy” game (Twilight Imperium) demands deep strategy and long playtimes.

Win Condition: The Goal That Ends the Game
Every game has a win condition. Maybe it’s reaching a point total, controlling the board, or being the last player standing. Whatever the goal, knowing how to win is half the battle!
