The Game

Want to know more about Greathelm? Hear it straight from the shinobi himself:

Greathelm is a tabletop miniatures agnostic skirmish game played with dice and hand-painted miniatures. Each miniature represents a ‘knight’, a heroic and heavily armored warrior ready for combat. In every game, you and your opponent each control a team of six knights who face off in intense, close-quarters fights.

Rather than depicting an entire battlefield in the conventional standards of tables sized 2"x2" to 4"x6", Greathelm focuses on a much smaller play area. This represents strategic slices of a much larger battlefield—think of it as the camera zooming in on key moments that decide the course of a battle happening off-screen.

The gameplay reflects pivotal moments like breaking through enemy lines, toppling castle gates, or seizing control of a siege weapon. Games are fast-paced, easy to learn, and deeply tactical.

The Play Area

Games of Greathelm are designed to be played within small play areas. The standard size for games is that of the commonly found paper in your home printer, no matter where you are in the world. Common sizes are US letter 8.5"x 11" or A4 8.3"x 11."

Scenes

The play area represents a zoomed in view of a battlefield, where the most important action is taking place. In game terms, the play area is referred to as a 'scene'. Scenarios can feature several scenes. Victory in one scene will move play to a new scene, progressing the narrative to the next pivotal moment or the battles’ climactic end.
