Song of Shadows and Dust

This is a standalone miniatures wargame based on the Song of Blades and Heroes rules engine. The rules reflect the gritty reality of urban violence while preserving the keep-it-simple, play-as-you-want, no-book-keeping-required spirit of the Ganesha family. Easy to learn in just one game. Fast: Games can be finished in an hour allowing campaigns to be completed in a single sitting. Inspired by the breakdown in civil order which plagued the great cities of the Mediterranean in the first century BC, these rules are suitable for any pre-modern setting from Babylon to Bruges. Includes 57 unique characters – henchmen, assassins, punch-drunk boxers, street urchins, elder statesmen and courtesans. Players can create characters choosing from among 46 special rules. Eleven different faction objectives allow for 121 different tabletop scenarios. Easily supplemented by special rules and scenarios from other books by Ganesha Games.
