Why play S&S?

Wanna play?

World first

Never before has a Kingdom building RTS been brought 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
