Modiphius Entertainment’s indie imprint, ViaModiphius, revealed a seasonal release calendar. This Winter Collection presents four miniature-agnostic (i.e., you can use any miniatures or proxies you desire) solo and co-op adventure wargames.
What is an adventure wargame?
Adventure wargames let you tell stories on your tabletop with innovative narrative mechanics, procedural campaigns, and scripted stories which put you in the middle of the action, whether playing solo or with your friends against dangerous adversaries.
