All that remains are the lawless ruins known as the Wildlands, and the shards of the crystals that have been strewn across them. Now a few souls, the brave and the desperate, seek the shards to harness their power for their own ends.\u003cbr\u003eTake control of one of four factions, from the spell-slinging Mages' Guild or the nimble Gnomads to the versatile Lawbringers or the hard-hitting Pit Fighters. Each brings their own playstyle, with unique decks of action cards determining their abilities on the battlefield, so plan your tactics carefully. Dash through the ruins to grab the crystals you so desperately desire or focus your efforts on taking out the opposition--but take care, danger may be lurking in the darkness... \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the Wildlands, opportunity awaits...if you fight for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDescription\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlayers\u003c\/b\u003e: 2-4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAges\u003c\/b\u003e: 14+\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlaying Time\u003c\/b\u003e: 30-60 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e: 20 Unique Miniatures, 20 Character Cards, 120 Action Cards, 42 Battlefield Cards, Double-Sided Playing Board, Counters \u0026amp; Tokens\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I love that this game has streamlined mechanisms, [but] even with the streamlined way of playing, the game has a lot of depth.” —\u003ci\u003eGame Boy Geek\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“With its awesome miniatures and incredibly fun gameplay, Wildlands would make a great gift for your favorite board game-loving nerd.” —\u003ci\u003eNerd Much\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The figures in \u003ci\u003eWildlands\u003c\/i\u003e are ridiculously great.” —\u003ci\u003eNerd Much\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I like the theme.
