Cryptid

Burrows & Badgers

Burrows & Badgers is a tabletop skirmish game set in the ancient realm of Northymbra, a kingdom where mice, badgers, toads and other animals wear armour, wield swords, and cast magic spells. Your tabletop becomes part of the Kingdom of Northymbra, whose ruined villages, haunted forests, and misty marshes play host to brutal ambushes and desperate skirmishes. Lead your warband from battle to battle, and uphold the name of your faction, whether you stand with Reinert's Royalists, the Freebeasts of the Fox Families, or simply for your own glory or survival.

Do I need anything else to play?

To play Burrows & Badgers you are best of picking up some of the official miniatures from Oathsworn Miniatures, as the size of the different animals is reflected in the rules. You will also need some terrain (books can be used as a substitute in a pinch!), some dice (4 sided, 6 sided, 8 sided, 10 sided, 12 sided and 20 sided), and a tape measure. You can download the roster sheet from our Gaming Resources page.
