Kings of War, (often abbreviated to KoW) is a tabletop wargame created by Mantic Games.

The game has been designed for armies of fantasy miniatures. It uses stock fantasy races such as Elves,[1] Dwarves, Undead[2] and Orcs,[3] as well as demonic version of Dwarfs known as Abyssal Dwarfs.[4] Each race has an alignment (good, evil or neutral) and races of the same or compatible alignments can join forces, allowing the player to have a mixed army.

Initially released as a range of miniatures without a set of companion rules,[5] Mantic Games announced in July 2010 that a set of rules was under development.[6] The game was designed by Alessio Cavatore,[7] who previously worked on the rules[8] for The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game, Warmaster, Warhammer 40,000[9] and Mordheim while working for Games Workshop.

The game was first announced in early 2010 as a closed beta.[10] The 2010 edition of the game was released in September 2010 with the Mhorgoth's Revenge starter set. The rules were finally published as a download from Mantic's website in December 2010.[11] The 2nd edition of the Kings of War rule book was released in the summer of 2015 and features a cleaned up set of rules, new units in every army and new armies. In October 2019, in celebration of the 10 year anniversary of Kings of War, Mantic released the 380-page 3rd edition rule book.
