Coming Soon: Dungeon Command

Over the past couple of years, Wizards has released a number of D&D-themed board games, such as Castle Ravenloft (and the very similar Wrath of Ashardalon and Legend of Drizzt), Conquest of Nerath, and Lords of Waterdeep. Next on the docket is Dungeon Command, a skirmish game in which each player selects a themed war-band (undead, drow, etc.) of miniatures to duke it out on a battlefield made of Dungeon Tiles. One interesting feature of the game is that it does not use dice; instead, players use a deck of cards to issue orders to their units. The first two war-band sets ("Sting of Lolth" and "Heart of Cormyr" -- evidently it's set in the Forgotten Realms!) are scheduled to be released on July 17.
