Table of War Demo

WHAT YOU GETThe demo is the opening act of Table of War, played start to finish: pick a commander, take a live army across a branching front, and fight the act boss at the top of it. Runs are self-contained — win or lose, the next one is a fresh campaign with a fresh map. It is the real game, not a slice with the systems switched off. Permadeath is on. The economy is on. The boss does not go easy.YOU COMMAND THE ARMY, NOT A HEROMost deckbuilders hand you one fighter and a stack of verbs.

Table of War hands you a company. Your units move and fight on their own action points — walk them, flank them, hold a ridge with them, no card required.

The board is the tactics. The deck is the strategy.EVERY SOLDIER HAS A NAMEYour roster is persistent and it is permanent. Troops carry their name, rank, experience and scars from battle to battle, promote through a branch-specific rank ladder, and earn permanent perks at camps.
