How It Plays

Action Points

You get a limited number of action points each turn and choose how to spend them — prioritizing is everything.

Dice Rolling

You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!

Grid Movement

Pieces move on a grid of squares — straightforward movement that still leaves room for deep tactical thinking.

Line of Sight

Your units can only interact with what they can directly see on the board — positioning matters a lot.

Modular Board

The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.

Variable Phase Order

The order of game phases can change each round depending on player choices — keeps everyone on their toes.

Variable Player Powers

Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.

About This Game

Deadzone is a dynamic tabletop miniatures skirmish game set in the distant sci-fi universe of Warpath in which two players take command of a crack team of upgradable elite troopers from one of four factions including powerful heroes, troopers, heavy weapons and specialists. You can even upgrade your troopers by collecting equipment and new weapons from the Battlefield, such as Machineguns, medipacks, grenades and more. But beware – you could be triggering a booby trap!…
