Multi-player Scenarios

RAW ✔️ Source: The Book of Ruin

Sometimes multiple gangs meet to settle their differences at the same time. This could be because they are abiding by the unwritten laws of the underhive and offering up chosen champions to fight for their honour, or because external forces have thrown fighters from different gangs together, and they must now fight to survive (as well as each other). Sometimes it is simple dumb luck that sees several gangs converge on the same prize at the same time or blunder into each other in the dark. In these instances gang skirmishes can turn rapidly into pitched battles, with firepower to rival any battlefield in the 41st Millennium. The only thing that can be sure is any confrontation between multiple gangs will be a bloody and brutal affair.

Designer's Note: Setting Up Multi Player Games

Multi-player games can be a great way to kick off a Necromunda campaign, or bring one to a close. These kinds of games are also a good way to introduce new players and gangs into existing campaigns, as it allows weaker gangs and more inexperienced players to fight it out without being the sole focus of their opponent. When setting up a multi-player game, the Arbitrator should consider the relative strengths of the different gangs involved, and potentially adjust the scenario to suit. This could mean placing the strongest gangs in the most exposed place on the battlefield – or farthest from the objective – or even having the stronger gangs randomly select their crews while the weaker gangs get to choose their fighters.

Priority in Multi-player Games​

RAW ✔️ Source: Necromunda Rulebook (2018)

Sometimes, more than two gangs find themselves fighting on the same battlefield - either allying together to take out foes, or in a bloody free-for-all.

Players roll for Priority as normal, but ties are handled differently. Players determine play order based on their dice score when rolling for Priority. Any ties are re-rolled (for example, if four players roll for Priority and score a 5, 4, 4 and 2, the player that rolled 5 has Priority, the player that rolled 2 goes last and the players that each rolled a 4 roll off again to determine who is going second and third).
