Dungeon Command: Blood of Gruumsh
Dungeon Command: Blood of Gruumsh is a card-driven skirmish game played on modular interlocking map tiles that uses order cards, creature cards and miniatures. The object of the game is to have the highest remaining Morale when an opposing warband's Morale has been reduced to 0 or below, or if a player ends his or her turn with no creatures on the battlefield.
As a player, you take on the role of a commander, sending a warband to battle the forces arrayed against you. You recruit troops and deploy them on the battlefield. You issue orders to those creatures, outfit them with spells and equipment, and direct their tactics to break the morale of your enemies and drive them from the field.
Dungeon Command: Blood of Gruumsh includes twelve, orc-related miniatures specific to this faction pack. While each Dungeon Command faction is meant to be played by a single player, quick-start rules allow two players to engage in a shortened version of the game using only one box. Dungeon Command is designed for two players, although up to four can play with a few adjustments explained under the advanced rules.

I gave this game a lower rating earlier on because I bought this game not knowing you need 2 packs to have a “real” game. Now that I have 2 packs (Heart of Cormyr and this one) and have played a “real” game, and I would rate this game higher.
This pack gives the heroes a run for their money. There are very tough orcs and a powerful Ogre that smashes everything in it’s path. This game was much better than I expected it to be. I did not have very high expectations but was delightfully surprised.
I like that I could play this game in under an hour on my first game. I’m sure after several plays, games will average around 30 minutes. Maybe even less!
The miniatures are fantastic! They are beautifully painted and worth the cost of the game alone.
Huge bonus for me is, I have Castle Ravenloft and Wrath of Ashardalon board games in which I can throw these monsters into the game for added variety.
