Of Silence & Shadow is a skirmish wargame set in the realms of dark fantasy. What is a skirmish wargame? A skirmish wargame is a type of wargame that uses relatively few figures compared to larger more boastful wargame battles. Skirmish wargames focus on individual models and their abilities, rather than large units of soldiers. In this game, each unit moves, acts, and fights on its own. Dark fantasy is a type of fantasy where horror trumps the majestic. Where fire spells burn their casters and getting sliced by a sword causes more injury than just a few hit points. So, frame your mind around the darkest parts of fantasy, where life is horrific, knights do not always save the day, and princesses may be monsters in disguise. —description from the publisher
