Warlord is typically played with 2 players, but multiplayer variants allow more players to get into the game. During the game, each player uses their starting forces along with additional Actions, Items, and Characters they may draw to battle their opponent, with the end goal of defeating the opposing Warlord in order to win the game. A d20 is used for most of the interactions (attacks, DC Saves), giving the game a very TTRPG feel. This particular event uses the Ancients ruleset, a format spanning the entire history of the game, but with a small ban list.
