In the five centuries since the Wound was closed, the kingdoms of Kalar have struggled to rebuild their shattered societies. A resurgent Empire spread across the great sea, bringing civilization to the untamed eastern continent of Kheros. But Lilith, one of the immortal sorcerers responsible for the Worldwound, arrived first, preparing the way for the return of her dark mistress. For nearly six hundred years she has plotted and schemed. In 588 (2023 Gregorian), the wait is over.

Burning Banners: Rage of the Witch Queen is a fantasy wargame for two to six players. Fast playing and intuitive, a whopping 29 scenarios range from short campaigns with 2 Kingdoms and one map, to the entire 12-year war, in which 6 kingdoms battle over four maps. The rules include a quick-playing Basic Game as well as an Advanced Game which introduces Magic, Heroes, and Monsters guarding powerful treasures.

March 1” Armies and Heroes through huge, lovingly detailed hexes. Explore a vast, detailed fantasy world encompassing four mounted game maps with six unique kingdoms and dozens of troop types. Designed and illustrated by acclaimed fantasy artist, Christopher Moeller!

Hex tile War Game set in Fantasy

Thick high quality cardboard tokens. Player boards are double-layered and have insert slots. Beautiful hand drawn maps over 4 boards -- which connect depending on size of scenario (art work in general is reminiscent of early 90s). 6 different factions with different strength/weakness. Basic game involves a heavy set of rules (due to amount of different units/spaces/interactions etc), that are quite straightforward once you get going. Advanced rules include magic/cards. Game can run for 2-6 players, but every scenario two teams so you can just control multiple factions if you want to strictly play 2 players.
If you were interested in turn based strategy, but the bland design of a lot of historical themed war games turned you off, this game hits those same notes and does it well.
Also for such a heavy game (literally as well), set up really is quite quick -- open scenario, place boards, grab your factions, and put the tokens on their starting spots (which doesn't require a ton of fiddly placements).
The board state allows for a variety of tactics and strategies and at the end of a scenario you'll have a bunch of "remember when you..." moments to discuss.

Burning Banners a must have

Awesome game, awesome components and it took less than a week to arrive. I give the game a rating of 6 out of 5. Worth every penny.
