In games of Crusade, where players may often get 2-4 CP before a game as rewards, this is decent as a balancing factor, but it still locks you into a set order for the entire game. The first tie-breaker is the number of CP bid – if we both roll a 6 but I spent 3CP on it and you spent 1CP, I still win – and then, if that doesn’t do it, players proceed to roll-offs. The player who rolled the highest gets to go first, then the player who rolled second highest, and so on. Before the game players secretly bid up to 3 CP (why this is capped, I’m not sure), and roll that many dice, plus a free one, with their highest single roll being their score. Turn order in games of Treachery And Honour is determined before the game begins and is accomplished via a blind CP bid. The biggest question here is “how do you resolve turns in a 3- or 4-player free-for-all environment? And that’s where the system takes an admirable gamble that may not pay off. But yeah generally with four players you’re better off doing a 2v2. TheChirurgeon: I’ve done 4- and 5-player free-for-alls.

Treachery and Honour rules assume four players, but can also work for playing with three. Welcome to multiplayer! Multiplayer games – usually 2v2 – have been a part of 40k casual play since the game’s inception, and the Treachery and Honour book finally brings those rules to 9th edition and Crusade proper. If only all of their books were like this.

Let’s dig in to find out.īefore we dive into these rules we’d like to thank Games Workshop for sending us an advance copy of the book for review. Crusade: Catastrophe acts as a companion to the new book, building on some of the themes in the new book, and introduces new rules for playing multiplayer games, as well as rules that reflect a unit’s reputation and how that affects them in battle.
