Swords and Stones tabletop board game:

Swords and Stones is our genre-defining flagship boardgame wargame hybrid, the ultimate sandbox experience for you to play out your inner leader, builder, and master strategist!

Set in a fantasy age in earth’s long lost history; a few hundred years after a great flood washed all civilization off of the map.

You have been chosen by your people as their leader in the times that lie ahead, entrusted to rule and protect the kingdom from the harsh new world and to defeat those that would do you harm.

Oversee and harvest resources, research technologies and upgrades, improve your skill as their leader and grow your small camp in the woods into a mighty kingdom – an island of hope and prosperity in a sea of danger and unknown.

S&S is the complete tabletop sandbox kingdom building wargame experience, where the player has full control over how they play; be it a fast aggressive rush style, or a slow-and-steady defensive build, a highly specialized kingdom, or a multi-purpose general one, the choice is yours!

Your objective is simple; to win you must defeat/slay all rival Kings and Queens (that represents the players), OR build a mighty monument and have it stand for 25 turns to win!

Please note this website uses A.I artwork; however the main reason we are going to crowdfunding is to replace it (and make epic rulebook art!) with 100% human made artwork (and 3d models too!). Until that time, this box will remain here, in the homepage until we have no AI art on the site. Please buy/pre-order our game and support us supporting artists. This placeholder art is a representation of the style of art we aim to create. Not AI; “Swords and Stones” text, and “Crowned Skull” by Alejo Ramos. “S&SStudios” Logo by Saul Edmonds.

Why play S&S?

View More

World first

Never before has a Kingdom building RTS been bought to the open tabletop before; S&S's unique mechanics, and stunning models brings the players into a fully immersive experience.

Dedicated designers

S&S was made out of our love for the RTS and fantasy genres by dreamers, storytellers, and master creators; we will continually support and release content for as long as people play it! The Human factions are just the beginning!

Full Control

There are many ways to skin a basilisk, some require just a knife, some need a heavy plow pulled with a dozen warhorses. S&S's sandbox 'open table' design gives players the ultimate control.

Community

Not only do we aim for the most fun and exciting gaming experience possible; but also a social one - connecting people near and far; a platform to share victories and losses over the lands of Avalon
