.newspaper {column-count: 2;}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 HATE!Contents:103 Plastic Figures (Unpainted & Assembled)‣ 1 Tyrant Figure‣ 11 Tribe of Um'Gra Figures‣ 11 Tribe of Um'Rak Figures‣ 11 Tribe of Um'Gorr Figures‣ 11 Tribe of Um'Tal Figures‣ 11 Tribe of Um'Kator Figures‣ 11 Tribe of Um'Cal Figures‣ 11 Tribe of Um'Cordu Figures‣ 11 Tribe of Bul'Gar Figures‣ 14 Mercenary Figures2 Game Boards24 Plateau Tiles20 Hut Tiles16 Tree Tiles90 Savagery Tokens50 Resource Tokens50 HATE Tokens16 Pillaged Tokens4 Innocent Tokens10 Tracker Tokens8 Interest Tokens2 Feast Tokens103 Figure Cards137 Plastic Upgrade Cards24 Plastic Scar Cards64 Tribe Cards10 Mercenary Cards10 Secret Mission Cards6 Underdog Mission Cards78 Plastic Card Sleeves12 Custom Dice30 Counter Bases13 Scenario Dashboards1 Village Sheet Pad1 Chronicle Sheet Pad1 RulebookAges: 18+Players: 2-6Game Length: 60 minutes

“I was surprised how big the box is (23"x16"x5") and how much came with it. The game is prepackaged for shipment with Styrofoam inserts as if it was a valuable piece of electronics. Unlike CMON's other Kickstarter games, this one was Kickstarter only due to the mature content and violent nature of the game. The game comes with all the stretch goal components. Counters are mostly plastic instead of cardboard. Most of the 103 detailed miniatures are 32mm scale, but 17 are large 75mm scale. I haven't had a chance to read the rules or play the game yet, but it's a mighty impressive purchase.”

“Hate is easy to learn, with fast gameplay. It’s good for causal clashes or in depth chronicle play. While combat seems simple, tribe cards and the forge play an integral role in achieving victory. A great game for hardcore gamers and casuals alike. Very dark and gritty, so not suggested for younger players. I have enjoy playing Hate and look forward to playing an entire chronicle.”

“I am very pleased with this product. I mainly purchased it for the AWESOME minis, but the quality off all pieces of the game are very good. I may even play that game, as it looks like fun with the right players. Also, all the various tokens give me ideas for homebrewing some things in my PF2 game. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.”

“I haven't played it yet, but even just looking at it makes it worth the purchase. It's a beautiful game: quality components, with beautifully sculpted minis that can also be painted and multi-purposed for your D&D campaigns, if you're so inclined.”
