Va(r)nish

The imbecilic painter from across the Boulevard has recently confessed their feelings for your beloved. And they have been given a chance to prove themselves worthy; can you believe it!? There is only one way to settle this. They must vanish into oblivion. 

What is Va(r)nish?

Va(r)nish (pronounced 'vanish') is a 2-player miniature agnostic narrative tabletop painting skirmish game where players take on the role of painters fighting over a shared love interest. With street duels and competitive fencing outlawed, the only option is to let your paintings do the fighting for you.

Va(r)nish assumes you know the basics of skirmish games and have access to: 

• Pen and paper
• Index cards
• A set of polyhedral dice  (primarily d12s)
• Activation tokens
• 28mm or 1" miniatures and terrain (paper or system agnostic)
• A 2' x 2' play surface (minimum)

What does my download come with?

• A pamphlet-sized skirmish game
  • 8.5" x 11" double-sided
• Index Card-sized Painter and Figment character keepers
• A supplementary Glossary of Game Terms & Definitions
