Why Conquest

Strategy worthy of an emperor.

Easy to learn in one round. Impossible to master in a lifetime.

Deep Tactical Combat

Every commander brings a unique ability. Stack synergies, time your strikes, and break the enemy line.

Built for the Table

Plays cleanly with 2 to 6 players. Free-for-all, teams, or 1v1 duels — all in the same box.

30-Minute Wars

No 4-hour epics. Sit down, draft your warlord, and crown a victor before the pizza arrives.

Anatomy of a Commander

How a Commander leads.

Every part of the card matters. Hover or scan the call-outs around Alexander to see how each section drives the war.

Name & Title

Alexander the Great — Lion of Macedon. The flavor line sets the tone before any number is read.

Type Badges

Every card declares its category — here, a Commander Unit. Determines what abilities and stratagems may target it.

Cost (CP)

10 CP — the price to field Alexander. Always equals the sword level shown just below.

Sword Level

Ten swords mark him as a top-tier Commander. Higher levels unlock heavier abilities — and demand bigger tributes.

Chain of Command

Every army has a hierarchy.

One Commander leads. Generals, Lieutenants, and Officers fight beside them — each rank has its own background pattern, cost, and stat floor. Macedon shown as the worked example.
