Swords and Stones is our genre-defining Real Time Strategy Table Top Wargame.
A complete 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 decade after a great flood washed all civilization off of the map.
You have been chosen to lead in the times that lie ahead, entrusted to rule and protect them from the harsh new world.
Harvest resources, research technologies and upgrades, construct buildings and train your people in the ways of war.
Grow your small camp in the woods into a mighty kingdom – an island of hope and prosperity in a sea of danger and unknown!

Swords and Stones has been a huge undertaking and a very ambitious project. We are very close to releasing this game for the first time (TBA 2026 Q2), exclusive to Gamefound (crowd funding platform). Our first release “The Dark Days”  includes two complete player packs, with everything you need to play with you and a friend, and includes over 50 miniatures to get you started! 

This first release will be released via “Gamefound” a crowd funding platform where potential customers can pre-purchase the game and help us raise that money to produce the game cheaply and effectively!

Why play S&S?

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

Game Modes

Single Player

Play against an Artificial player in Skirmish mode, or play the single player campaign/story mode - 'The Chronicles of Artha".

Multiplayer Co-op

Play together with others to defeat Artificial Players, as well as other co-op modes including "Before the Flood" and "Zombie Apocalypse".

Competitive Multiplayer

S&S was made for Competitive multiplayer!

From deathmatch tournament events, to years long "Grand Campaigns" played out  with a group of friends!

Game modes include 'By Sword or Stone' (the standard game mode) Deathmatch, King of the Hill, Capture the Objective, and more!

Friendly Competitive

Is a game type where players still compete against each other, however, combat is disabled, offering for a different, less aggressive playstyle. Game modes include; Gold Rush, Dragon Hunt, Monuments and more!

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.
