Description

In Chaos in the Old World, players take on the roles of the four Chaos Gods – Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch, and Slaanesh – each vying to dominate the Old World of Warhammer Fantasy. Each God possesses unique powers, units, and upgrade paths, leading to wildly different playstyles and strategies. You'll use your limited action points each turn to summon followers, corrupt regions, and unleash devastating abilities upon the mortal realm.

The core gameplay revolves around strategically deploying your forces across the map to establish area control and spread your unique brand of corruption. Dice rolls determine the outcome of battles and the effectiveness of your powers, adding an element of chance to the calculated chaos. Simultaneously, you must hinder your rivals while pursuing your own unique victory conditions. Games of Chaos in the Old World are tense, strategic battles for supremacy in a world teetering on the brink of destruction.
