TABLETOP WARFARE
Partha Wars is a 30mm tabletop miniatures battle game set in the high-tech, war-torn universe of The LOK. Designed for 1v1 or multiplayer action, this D6-based system throws you into fast-paced tactical warfare—from small-scale skirmishes to large-scale tournament play. You decide how you want to play: adjust the table size, unit count, and mission style to fit your gaming group or competitive goals.
The game uses a dynamic "you-go-I-go" activation system where each character or unit has a set number of actions and reactive abilities. Strategic orders, tactical timing, and clever positioning are all key, making every moment of play engaging. Thanks to reactive mechanics, both players are always in the action—anticipating moves, countering threats, and making bold plays in the heat of battle.
This is the premier entry point into the LOK universe that introduces players to the rich sci-fi world of Partha Terra. Players can jump straight into battle—either through narrative-driven scenarios or head-to-head skirmishes.
What is partha wars?
A Partha War pits two rival armies from the LOK universe against each other in a battle for tactical dominance. Players score points by completing mission objectives drawn from scenario and objective cards. Victory goes to the player who best executes their strategy—not just the one who wipes out their opponent. No cheap turn-one alpha strikes here!
Each game is played over five rounds (or until one army is fully eliminated—but even then, the war may not be lost). Players take turns deploying units in terrain-rich environments, choosing positions that suit their army’s strengths. Once deployment is complete and the first turn is rolled for, the battle begins.
During each round, players activate their units in turn based on activation values. Heroes and units strive to complete mission objectives and earn Arcanium Points, which determine the winner. Throughout the game, players can issue orders, interrupt enemy actions, and pull off high-risk tactics—adding layers of depth and surprise.
Just be careful—once an order is issued, there’s no turning back.
Objectives & Play
After five intense rounds (or when mission conditions are met), players tally their points to determine who has achieved victory—and altered the course of the Partha Wars.

MEET THE CREATOR
Tommy Rice brings over 39 years of gaming experience to Partha Terra. In addition to playing tabletop games since he was 7, he has worked with some of the best game creators and industry professionals in the world—Games Workshop, Gale Force Nine, Mythic, Monolith, among others. And now, he has brought his talents and world to an amazing company: Catalyst Game Labs! This incredible team has jumped in and is now bringing the game and lore of The Partha Wars to you. He’s a home-grown member of the gaming community!
Tommy is a full nerd and home-grown member of the gaming community—but that’s not all. He has also found success as a professional football player and powerlifter, and now he can add author and actor to the list as well. We know—it sounds crazy. What hasn’t he done, you ask? Well, not a lot. But it’s that slight crazy edge that has helped Tommy succeed. And he would tell you himself: he always fails. But he says it’s the failures—and how you get back up from the defeats—that bring the greatest success.
Early in his career, he moved from Alabama to California, where he acted in commercials and began chasing his dream of playing professional football. That’s where he met John Madden, a key figure in his life. Mr. Madden told a young Tommy that he had the “IT” factor, and if he kept trying, he would succeed at his dream.
Well, as much as Tommy loves football (and he LOVES football), his real passion has always been gaming, movies, and storytelling. He knew he had what it took to make his dreams come true—so that’s exactly what he did. He wrote a book and started working in gaming.
As he says: we all have our Dragons (the things that knock us down, our failures). It’s how you get up that counts. You’re your Dragon. And welcome to The Partha Wars!
