Warhammer: Invasion

Modern Hobby Strategy Games

Warhammer: Invasion is a Living Card Game, a fixed-distribution variant of the collectible card game format, designed by Eric M. Lang and produced by Fantasy Flight Games from 2009 to 2013, set within the Warhammer Fantasy universe. As with Fantasy Flight's other Living Card Games, Invasion is sold as a complete core set that can be played on its own, then expanded through booster and expansion packs that contain fixed, non-random contents rather than the randomized packs typical of traditional collectible card games. The game features six warring factions, Dwarves, the Empire, Orcs, Chaos, High Elves, and Dark Elves, with the first four playable directly from the core set while the two elven factions require the Assault on Ulthuan expansion. Two players compete to conquer their opponent's homeland zones using armies, resources, and battlefield tactics drawn from their chosen faction's strengths.
