Warhammer Fantasy is the now-discontinued game that launched the wider Warhammer franchise. As its name suggests, Warhammer Fantasy was set in a high-fantasy world populated by humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and other races, all of whom lived in a turbulent era marked by constant bloodshed and war. While Games Workshop ended Warhammer Fantasy back in 2015, it was succeeded by Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, which features many of the same characters. Additionally, Games Workshop is also developing a new game called Warhammer: The Old World that will be set in the original Warhammer Fantasy world. Cubicle 7 also continues to publish tabletop roleplaying supplements for Warhammer Fantasy that use the world of the game.
Elector Counts appears to be a shorter card game, as Cubicle 7 notes that its meant to be played in between sessions of the Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play game. However, it’s not the first card game to use Warhammer lore and characters. Play Fusion previously developed a Warhammer: Age of Sigmar Champions card game that used both real cards and a digital app to play, while Fantasy Flight Games developed a Warhammer Quest Adventure Card Game that released regular content for several years. Recently, Wizards of the Coast confirmed that they were making Magic: The Gathering cards based on the lore and characters of Warhammer: 40,000.
