Intrigue, noble houses and betrayal in a steampunk Renaissance
In Dogs of War, you command an army not for honor, but for convenience. You are a mercenary captain in a Renaissance world of mechanical knights and war machines , ready to sell your services to noble houses vying for power. Every battle is merely a means: the true goal is to accumulate influence and rewards by carefully choosing who to support… and when to betray them.
The heart of the game isn't brute force, but the ability to manipulate alliances , deploy your men at the right time, and reap the best rewards. Battles are tense, low blows are inevitable, and the captains' unique abilities can change the fate of entire houses. In the end, the one who has weaved the most dense web of power and influence will win.
Why "Dogs of War" Remains a Modern Classic
- ⚔️ Conflicts and diplomacy : power is gained through cunning, not just weapons
- 🤖 Unique setting : Alternate Renaissance with mechanical knights and steampunk technology
- 🎲 Strategy and bluff : every alliance can be a springboard... or a trap
- 🏆 Multiple paths to victory : influence, gold, battles and betrayals
- 🔥 High interaction : every choice shakes the balance between the houses
If you love games where politics matter more than swords , where the art of betrayal is as refined as military strategy, then Dogs of War will introduce you to epic battles, constant tension, and fragile alliances. Prepare to win not on the battlefield... but in the halls of power.
A true Dog of War has no friends, only opportunities.

Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Choose your Captain and your (apparent) loyalty
Each player controls a Dog of War , a captain with unique powers, ready to deploy his soldiers in support of the great houses. But beware: loyalties are fluid, and personal interest often outweighs military glory.
2. Fight in just 3 intense rounds
The new edition reduces the game to three quick rounds , where every choice is more impactful. The rewards of the final round are enormous and can turn everything around at the last moment.
3. Manage changing battles and alliances
Houses battle in epic clashes with mechanical knights and war machines . Players deploy troops and mercenaries to shift the balance of power, but victories are not always predictable: betrayal is as powerful a weapon as brute force.
4. Take advantage of new powers and Mercenary Captains
In addition to the main captains, there are now Mercenary Captains , who balance out 3- and 4-player games and introduce new tactics. Powers have been doubled and revamped , so no game will ever be the same.
5. Whoever accumulates the most influence and power wins.
Success depends not only on battles won, but on political influence, wealth, accumulated troops, and alliances with the strongest houses . Only the most cunning Dog of War, capable of betraying at the right moment, will be remembered as the true master of the conflict.

Dogs of War With Metal Coins
FROGBUNDLE
A new, faster, more ferocious and unpredictable edition
It is not the one who has the most strength who wins, but the one who knows how to manipulate the destiny of the houses.
Dogs of War – Intrigue, alliances and betrayal on the battlefield
Flags fly, steel knights march, and nobles plot behind curtains. In Dogs of War , you are no ordinary general: you are a mercenary captain , ready to sell your army to the highest bidder.
War is not about honor, but about rewards, deception, and betrayal. Today you fight for a house, tomorrow you might stab that same ally in the back. Your influence decides who prospers and who falls , while the echoes of battle leave behind not only soldiers, but broken destinies.
Strength can win a battle. Deceit can win the war.
Dogs of War is a strategic board game for 3–5 players , set in a Renaissance universe with steampunk hues.
This new edition introduces three faster and more intense rounds , the arrival of mercenary captains to better balance games, and a doubled and rebalanced power system that makes every challenge unique. It's an ideal title for those looking for a strategy and diplomacy board game , where bluffing, betrayal, and alliances matter more than pure military might. Perfect for groups who enjoy tension, low blows, and unpredictable endings.
Cheating is an art, not a mistake 🐸
The unique thing about Dogs of War is that brute force isn't enough . You can support a house just to gain its favor and then abandon it when the time is right.
Mercenary Captains add new tactical options, while Glorious Victories make it possible to turn previously lost situations around. Thanks to new player powers , every match becomes a different challenge, where the real weapon is not your soldiers but your ability to manipulate the balance of power.
