DESCEND INTO A WORLD FORSAKEN TO THE DARKNESS In Torch & Shield, Dwarven steel clashes during fierce confrontations between rival clans in the ruined halls of the fallen Dwarf empire. Within the sealed vaults lies treasure unimaginable, and each clan believes it is theirs to take. Oaths have been sworn, and feuds will be born in blood that will last a century. But the Dwarves have more to worry about than each other. Ancient enemies have awoken in the lower levels and foul beasts still hunt in the dark halls eager to feast on Dwarven flesh. In the Torch & Shield miniatures game, you will assemble and control a hardy delving crew from one of the twelve great Dwarf clans and head into your ancestral underworld to claim the gold within. You must choose your equipment well and carefully weigh your tactics if you are to defeat your rival kinsmen and get to the riches before they do. Most of all you must keep your torches burning, for when all the lights go out the monsters will come from the deep. -description from the designer
