The Iron Republic
A strategy board game of ambition, intrigue and betrayal for 2–4 players.
A struggle for Nordheim
Every ambition has its price.
The Iron Republic is a highly interactive game for two to four players, in which each player leads a powerful faction vying for supremacy in the city-state of Nordheim.
Deploy your agents across every facet of life in the Republic: strike shady deals in the Underworld, scheme for influence in the Court, fight for blood and glory on the Battlefield, and manipulate the Market to serve your ambitions.
Outmanoeuvre your rivals, exploit opportunities, and pursue your faction's objectives as the balance of power shifts from round to round. In Nordheim, supremacy is rarely won by strength alone. Every coin, secret, alliance, and blade can tip the scales in your favour.

Across the Republic
Where power is won
01
Battlefield
Beyond Nordheim's walls, ambition sheds all pretence. Steel and strategy settle the argument here, and glory belongs to those willing to pay its price.
02
Underworld
Beneath the streets, secrets travel faster than coin. Deals are struck in darkness, loyalties are temporary, and blades flicker in the dark.
03
Court
The balance of the council shifts as quickly as the tides. Favours, influence and carefully chosen betrayals can reshape the Republic without ever drawing a blade.
04
Market
Everything in Nordheim has a price. Coin buys opportunity, but true power belongs to those who decide what everyone else gets to buy.
