Deep within the orcish caverns, the drums begin to beat. High in the treetops, the watch sounds the horns of the hunt. The Clans are on the move; the ancient war begins anew. The Elven Champions gather, test their weapons, draw up their resolve.
Under the earth, the Orcish King rails against the Elves, exhorting his troops to blood frenzy. The Queen of the Elves bids her heroes to her, impresses upon them the nature of their task. Tonight the battle will rage. A thousand Orcs will come to slaughter, and a handful of Elves will return the favor.
HeroCard Orc Wars is two games in one. The first is the basic
HeroCard engine, a card-dueling game. The second is an
asymmetrical, scenario-based game that uses HeroCard to resolve
conflicts within the game. One player plays a horde of Orcs against
individual Elven heroes. HeroCard Orc Wars ships with five scenarios with more available online.

I first played this game at KublCon 2007. I played the Ranger expantion in a demo of the game and I had a great time playing it. I purchesed the game and both expantions for the game and have taught a bunch of family and friends to play. They had a blast. Very easy to learn. The instuctions were color full and clear to read divided into two sections with a full glossery in the back for the terms on the cards not in the instuctions. The two sections of the rule book are the basic HeroCard system and then the board game actions unque to the Orc Wars game. Once you know how to play the basic HeroCard resalution system you know how to play half of every one of TableStar games. The rest is the board game actions unquec to each game. The game comes with tons of full color ploystyren standy figures for the orcs and single color elf figures in nice detale. Thick dubble sided full color carboard game tiles. I recomend this for any D&D fan and even if your not its still a great game to play. I am looking forward to what they have comming out in the future and I know there will be some great games.
