The great evil has fallen, and has taken the capital with it. Where once there was a kingdom, there is now only the Wildlands. In a lawless fantasy world, you must band together for survival, treasure, or maybe even glory. Players control rival factions, each with a unique deck of cards dictating their abilities across the battlefield. Some focus on ranged prowess, some on raw strength, and others on the bond between characters, offering a wide range of playstyles to explore.
Created by award-winning game designer Martin Wallace, this miniatures board game contains everything you need to dive straight into the dynamic fantasy world of Wildlands. Simple enough to pick up and play, but packed with tactical nuances that will keep you coming back for more, it is the perfect approachable skirmish game with endless replayability.

This game is just crazy fun. I enjoy it at all player counts. 2 & 3 player is my favorite. 4 player is also great but there is more chaos. The interrupt action keeps everyone evolved. Another BGG user described it as multiplayer Memoir 44. that isn't a perfect comparison but the games are both very accessible and have some hidden depth. This is my current favorite piece of cardboard. (rating will probably settle around 9, due to the production problems)

Fun game that impressed us, though some simple things would have made it better: 1. Color tokens/cards to show player colors once all 5 warriors are deployed. 2. Warrior art doesn't match minis, which makes it hard to match yourself and others. Even with these drawbacks it was a lot of fun. (Based on 1 play, it was fun for those losing--the other 3--as well as for me. I won with melee team, killing 3 and getting 2 jewels.)

My one game of Wildlands was two-player. That really isn't the ideal player count as the game makes no effort to scale down its large board for lower numbers. My characters were mostly free to wander the board and were fortunate in setting up closer to the five crystals needed for the win than my opponent's. I won this skirmish game while making not a single attack. That was dull. With a more crowded board, the game would not be so free of incident. However, there is another reason to believe that Wildlands will remain an unexciting experience. The joy of a game like Summoner Wars is the wide variety of different factions and the very different abilities of each character. Wildlands offers three forms of attack - melee, ranged and a magical blatt. None of them has a very dramatic effect, particularly if the defender has a hand of cards with which to counter them. There just isn't very much you can do by way of variations on those three plus movement and hit points to give each faction a distinctive feel, let alone create drama and surprise. The miniatures are quite nicely sculpted, though it would have helped if they had looked more like the illustrations on their character cards. Production quality is good. In harmony with the game itself, the artwork is generic and bland.
