Since 1987, The Pact has captivated fans of dice rolling with its heavy complexity design.
How It Plays
Chit-Pull System
Tokens are drawn randomly from a pool to determine who acts next — it adds suspense to every round.
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.
Hexagon Grid
The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.
Line of Sight
Your units can only interact with what they can directly see on the board — positioning matters a lot.
Movement Points
You get a set number of movement points to spend on moving your pieces — plan your path carefully.
