WAR HOUNDS
is an asymmetric euro-combat hybrid for 1 to 6 players​.

The great continent of Doggerland is at War.  The futures and fortunes of nations are at stake. As the leader of a canine nation you must wade through the quagmire of mechanized warfare. Troops will be mustered, roaring artillery cannons built, mobilized and fired.  Trades will be made, technologies discovered and implemented in battle. All in the name of war.
Just over the ridge, there is a glimmering light.  Is it the radiant glow of the promise of victory, or is it the fading embers of artillery fire? 
DETAILED INFO:
- 1 to 6 players     - 90 to 180 minutes     - Ages 14+
- Multiplayer and Solo Modes      - Est. BGG Weight: 4.0 / 5.0​

War Hounds is a big box "combat game," meaning that the main priority of the game is combat and warfare.  However, War Hounds could very easily be called a "Euro-Hybrid" or even a "Euro-Combat" game as managing resource collection and economies are vital to success in war.  More than a few playtesters have noted that War Hounds genuinely feels and plays like a fully integrated Euro-War game, and not just a war game with Euro elements, nor just a Euro game with combat elements. Maybe, more importantly, is the fact that War Hounds was specifically designed to look and feel like the actual quagmire that was World War One.  Players will often feel like the continent is ripe for the taking only to find they are not quite as equipped for victory as they thought.

WAR HOUNDS boasts the smoothest integration of EURO and COMBAT elements of any hybrid yet, but, perhaps, more importantly, incredibly captures the challenges and trials every World War One soldier faced, all in a world of its own.
Picture
WAR HOUNDS comes in a BIG BOX, sized to be the same width and length as many of your other favorite games, with some extra height to ensure a comfortable fit for all of the components.

WAR HOUNDS'S huge main board features a large map of Doggerland containing or connected to the AERIAL, MARINE, TERRAIN arenas,
plus spaces--featuring authentic World War One art--for nations to gain technologies, policies, loans, trades, trenches, roads, rails, medals, badges and more!
Picture
WAR HOUNDS'S biggest claim to fame are the
beautifully painted, using authentic restored WW1 posters, SIX DOUBLE-SIDED playerboards of the TWELVE unique asymmetric factions, each with its own unique General, units, economies, and action selection mechanisms. 
Picture
WAR HOUNDS is jam-packed with chitboard goodies like canine generals, war-time technologies, national policies, trenches, rails, roads, SIX sets of EIGHT unique combat cards, and more!
Picture
WAR HOUNDS is underscored with a metaphorical ton of custom meeples, including dog soldiers, artillery cannons, WW1 tanks, battleships, U-boat  style submarines, bi-planes and large bombers.  The cherry on top of this combative canine sundae are the custom dice:
Artillery D20's of 3 types, Aeroplane D 12's,
and Infantry D6's.
