Blood on the Sands

from £70.00

This is a pre-order item. The estimated shipping window is Q2 2026.

Blood on the Sands delivers the tactical depth and thematic richness that both wargame and boardgame fans love, while offering something truly unique—a fresh take on gladiatorial combat that balances historical authenticity with engaging tabletop mechanics.

There are six package options for pre-order customers.

Each boxed game (Core Box) is perfect for two players, but our Ultimate Two-player Bundle contains everything you need for a more immersive gaming experience. Or pick up one of our larger packs to enable up to six players to link a series of gladiatorial duels into a larger campaign. Our Ultimate Campaign Bundle and Club Pack pledges also include the Saturnalia Pack, allowing you to hold a Grand Saturnalia Games at the conclusion of your campaign!

This item is being offered at an introductory pre-order price, which will increase when the product is available for retail sale. This pre-order is for the Retail Edition of Blood on the Sands. It does not include the Kickstarter-exclusive items indicated on the Kickstarter page. Please note that website pre-order customers will not receive Kickstarter backer updates.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Shipping charges will be calculated and charged after production has been completed, in order to provide the most accurate pricing and allow us time to identify the best possible arrangements.

Recipients will be responsible for paying any applicable customs fees, import duty, or other charges levied upon arrival in their country. Please be aware of your local laws and comply with them. Also note that the trade policy of the current U.S. administration is assessed to be unpredictable. We have accounted for a tariff of up to 10% on goods coming into the United States (shipped to our fulfilment partner(s)). Should the current administration impose additional tariffs or charges beyond this, all costs will have to be passed on to customer fulfilled via our U.S. partner. We are actively seeking alternatives, and may ship to Canada and Mexico from the UK and/or EU, if advantageous.

A note on shipping: Shipping/postage charges will reflect our actual costs of shipping, packaging materials, and handling—we do not seek to profit off these fees, and will aim to negotiate the best prices we can for quality services for backers.

Pre-order customers will only be charged for the game itself at the time of pre-order, and will be charged for shipping through a third-party fulfillment support site closer to the ship date to ensure that the fees charged reflect the actual cost of shipping & handling at that time.

We can ship (almost) anywhere in the world. We have four shipping hubs in place: the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the European Union.
