We’re thrilled to announce a momentous milestone for the new edition of Dystopian Wars: the first two player starter set.
The Crown and Empire vie for control of the seas of the Ashmore Reef, as the refinery located nearby is of vital importance to the plans of both the great powers. The Dominion of the Dragon Two Player Starter contains all that two players need to jump into the new edition of Dystopian Wars, including the new Dominion of the Dragon campaign book, rules & gubbins, terrain, and civilian vessels! There’s no better time to take to the seas of the new edition of Dystopian Wars, whether brand new or upgrading your existing fleets.
In collaboration with the British Library, we are also excited to announce a new venture into the world of fairy tales. Featuring iconic artwork from some of the earliest written tellings of these tales that can be found in the Fairy Tales exhibition, Mix-Up: Fairy Tales is a card game for ages 8+. Budding storytellers take familiar fairy tales and turn them on their head as they mix and match plot points to construct a wild story that fulfils the victory criteria. What weird and wonderful story will you create?
All products are due to be released in early April 2026.
Dystopian Wars: Dominion of the Dragon
This two-player starter set includes everything you need to play The Dominion of the Dragon campaign, a set of narrative Dystopian Wars encounters designed to help you learn to play. You will take the role of the naval forces of the Crown and Empire as they battle for the fate of the Ashmore Refinery. This is a vital location for the treatment of sturginium; perhaps the most valuable resource of the Dystopian Age.

Empire

In addition to a multitude of miniatures for both factions, you will find everything you need to play the game: Terrain, Action Dice, Critical Damage Dice, two rulebooks, and a campaign booklet to guide you through your first few games.
