HATE: Core Game

Description

They ravaged their Mother, The Earth, and bound Her with sorcerous chains. The moon caught fire; the sun froze. In the veins of the world Her lifeblood choked to dust. The oceans boiled to miasmas that clotted the skies. Rocks fanged up from the stubble of dying forests. As She began to rot, Her creatures, Her children, survived as best they could. Tearing at each other, prowling in Her fetid hollows, breeding abominations.
And, as the ages passed, some lineages of men grew monstrous as others diminished, weakened, and became easily their captives. These "higher" men fed on the lesser, growing in strength, and hurled their tribes one upon the other in terrible truce-less wars. Until one tribe crushed the others into kneeling submission under a lord, nameless save for his title: TYRANT!
Based on the
Chronicles of HATE
graphic novel by acclaimed artist Adrian Smith,
HATE
is a board game of brutal combat and conquest in a desolate world of ravenous warriors and depraved mysticism.
Take control of your tribe and lead them in battle against your opponents. Tribes clash against each other to achieve objectives, massacre the enemy, and reap rewards from blood and land. As the Chronicle unfolds, players engage each other in numerous clashes in an effort to defend or conquer territories, trying to be the ultimate Tyrant and rule the wastes of the world.
Each battle in the Chronicle has consequences, not only in terms of the control of the land, but also in the tribes that fight for it. Killing your opponent in merciless fashion and reaping all that which the land has to give allows your warriors to gain new skills, turning them into ever more formidable killers as the Chronicle progresses. You will also be able to bolster your village, giving your tribe extra abilities and features to use in both short and long term. However, dismemberment and death may also be your fate in the battlefield, a burden you must bear in your struggle to dominate the world of
