help Warhammer Invasion FAQ

How is Warhammer Invasion different from a collectible card game?

Warhammer Invasion is a Living Card Game, so its planned expansions were sold as fixed Battle Packs rather than random booster packs. Fantasy Flight's rules describe Battle Packs containing 40 cards, while the original core set contained 220 cards.

How do the three zones on a Warhammer Invasion capital work?

Each capital has Kingdom, Quest, and Battlefield zones, and cards placed in those zones serve different strategic roles. Kingdom develops resources, Quest helps generate cards and quest effects, and Battlefield is where attacks are directed.

Which factions are in the Warhammer Invasion core set?

The original core set centers on four factions: Dwarfs, Empire, Orcs, and Chaos. They are divided between Order and Destruction, with later Battle Packs and expansions adding factions such as Dark Elves, High Elves, and Skaven.

How do you win a game of Warhammer Invasion?

The main victory condition is to burn two of the three zones on your opponent's capital board. Players therefore have to balance attacking the enemy with defending their own Kingdom, Quest, and Battlefield zones. [Esoteric Order of Gamers](https://www.orderofgamers.com/games/warhammer-invasion/)
