Wartile

Wartile, also known as Wartile: Tactical Viking Board Game, puts you in control of a squad of miniature Vikings as they raid, fight, and explore a world that feels like a mix between a tabletop game and a real-time strategy title. Ever wanted to play a board game that moves fast and demands sharp thinking? This might be your thing. It blends card collecting, tactical movement on hex grids, and real-time battles into one neat package. No lengthy tutorials—just jump in and start raiding.

What’s the gameplay like?

The core of Wartile revolves around guiding your Viking crew through 3D hex-based maps where positioning is everything. Forget waiting your turn; battles happen in real time, so if you’re slow, your squad pays the price. Cards add another layer, giving you boosts or special attack options. Lesson learned: always carry a spare sword.

Quick heads-up

The visuals stand out thanks to Unreal Engine 4, giving the miniatures a nice touch without feeling flashy. It won’t blow your mind graphically, but it nails that tabletop vibe. Also, the difficulty can spike unexpectedly, so patience helps. Don’t expect handholding here.
