Warhammer: Age of Sigmar - The Rise & Fall of Anvalor board game

Warhammer Age of Sigmar is a universe created by Games Workshop where, traditionally, miniature war games have been set. Recently, however, Games Workshop have branched out and partnered with other publishers to produce games in non-traditional form, such as Warhammer 40k Dice Masters by WizKids, and now Warhammer: Age of Sigmar - The Rise & Fall of Anvalor as revealed at Essen 2018. This game is intended for 1-4 players, is designed by Rustan Håkansson (known for Nations, Dungeon Rush, and Tribes: Early Civilization), and is also produced by WizKids. Here's the story so far:

"Many previous attempts to build a lasting fortification at Anvalor have failed. Its strategic location on the Great Parch, a particularly arid region of Aqshy, the Realm of Fire, is of supreme importance. However, each new effort to establish a significant foothold has also irked a new foe, an enemy who rises to the challenge of thwarting the attempt. Equally distant from Anvilgard, Hammerhal Aqsha and the City of Brimstone, the competing factions of those great cities have put their quarrels aside and committed to a final push to rebuild Anvalor together. Whoever can secure the new stronghold will also dominate the Great Parch, significantly strengthening their influence in all the Mortal Realms." [source]

In The Rise & Fall of Anvalor, players are tasked to build and defend Anvalor from enemy assault but are secretly working to gather the most Influence and secure dominance over Anvalor, even though it may cause the fall of the city. Players obtain Influence by constructing City Buildings and defeating enemies during assaults. The game consists of:

• Over 180 tiles
• 6 different player factions
• 3 different enemy factions

There is another 4-player variant included for additional game play content. Expected released date is the end of April 2019.
