About the Game

Rampant Swords is a scale and model agnostic fantasy model vs. model skirmish game. It is designed to be played in about an hour with fully customizable forces from your favorite Fantasy universe. The rules can accommodate infantry, cavalry, and monsters. Players choose generic units and customize them using a Fantasy traits list. Most weapons and equipment is abstracted into simple to use Fantasy Traits for the units.

The mechanics are straight forward, streamlined, and easy to learn. Rampant Swords uses a d6 dice pool vs. a target number to resolve most actions and mechanics. Failure to activate moves play between players. The game moves quickly and rapidly. If you are familiar with Rampant Sun, Lion Rampant, or Rampant Hordes you will have a core understanding of how these rules function.

Victory in Rampant Swords focuses on completing mission objectives. These are randomly generated prior to the game and come complete with twists and turns to make every gaming experience unique. In addition, the rules have campaign rules for linking game results together into a larger campaign.

Rampant Swords is ideal for experienced gamers and new players getting their feet wet. Speed and ease of play were the priorities in the design process without sacrificing decision making. In Rampant Swords models do not always perform exactly as intended so the "Friction of War" will force players to react accordingly.

Enjoy your Fantasy adventures with Rampant Swords!
