Necromunda is a futuristic miniature skirmish game dated 1995 on its Board Game Matcher page, credited to Andy Chambers, Jervis Johnson and Rick Priestley and described there as another classic from the Games Workshop designers. Players lead small gangs that fight for supremacy in the hive underworld known as the Under Hive. Its campaign system lets a gang advance as more games are played, gaining skills, money and weapons that help it rise towards ruling the Under Hive. The page lists dice rolling, measurement movement and a modular board as its mechanics, gives a medium to heavy weight rating of 3.1, a minimum age of twelve, two to four players and a nominal play time of 30 minutes, and notes a VASSAL module for online play.
