The Waylanders is a competitive board game for 2 to 4 players. The players choose their 5 team members, plan their tactics and fight against their opponents to get the victory. Waylanders is set in a magical era, when men were connected to nature and to the other races of the world. The exploits and the search for power and treasures became an obsession for the adventurers of that era, who forged alliances and fight enemies to reach places loaded with powers. Select your 5 adventurers among the 20 available, each of them with different combinations of races, abilities and classes. Each adventurer has strengths and weaknesses in each type of combat (short, medium and long range) and in each type of terrain (forest, plain and mountain). Knock down your opponents, accomplish objectives, control the land... Your strategy will be the one that leads you to victory! —description from the publisher (English) The Waylanders es un juego un juego competitivo para 2-4 jugadores.
