War of the Dragon board game components laid out

What's in the Box

Components & contents

From the seven-region Westlands map to 40 sculpted miniatures, here is every component in War of the Dragon — and which edition each piece ships with.

The full component list

War of the Dragon ships with 13 categories of components. The core game — map board, action board, player mats, card decks, and tokens — is identical across editions; what changes is how your characters and armies are represented (cardboard standees in the Dragon Reborn Edition, or 40 detailed miniatures in the One Power and Last Battle tiers) plus the premium accessories bundled into the top tier.

All 13 component categories. Sort by component or note.

Standees or miniatures?

The single biggest difference between editions is the figures. The $90 Dragon Reborn Edition uses colorful cardboard standees; the One Power and Last Battle tiers swap those for 40 sculpted miniatures of iconic characters and armies. The gameplay is the same either way — it's purely a presentation upgrade. The full breakdown lives on the Editions & Pledge page.
