The whole family loved it. I'm glad I got the premium edition as the add ons are well worth it and make the gameplay better. Review: Great game with excellent depth & relatively easy to learn - This game has a great unique spin. Rather than everyone having their own units and armies to use, the units in this game are shared. Every player has certain "preferred" armies they want to win territory and others they want to lose. You can accomplish this goal by influencing armies to expand their territory, or sabotage the ones you dislike. Works really well at a variety of player counts 2-4 as well. The collectors edition doesn't add a ton to the game, but having the plastic cities, towers, and farms is a beneficial visual when playing, and the added cards can keep things fresh if you play alot. ## Features - CONTROL FROM THE SHADOWS – Pull the strings of the marionette that is war and manipulate empires from the shadows in this secretive strategy game. - COLLECTORS EDITION PREMIUM CONTENT – Includes upgraded components, miniatures, over 150 high-quality minis, player boards, and custom tokens. - DEEP STRATEGY & REPLAYABILITY – Gain loyalties with waring factions and use the shifting alliances to make every game unique. - DEPLOY AGENTS TO INFLUENCE NATIONS – Take over council positions to lead empires, build alliances, sever others in this struggle for shadow supremicy. - 2–4 PLAYER COMPETITIVE GAMEPLAY – Wage war with your friends, not as emporors but as silver-tongued beguilers who use their influence to sway the paths of war. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B088X185NH | | Age Range Description | Teen | | Best Sellers Rank | #186,134 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #4,298 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Brand Name | Starling Games | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 127 Reviews | | Edition | Limited Edition | | Educational Objective | Enhance critical thinking, strategic planning, and social deduction skills | | Game Mechanics | area control | | Genre | Strategy | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00610585962251, 06105859622510 | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Item Dimensions | 11.65 x 11.65 x 2.17 inches | | Item Highlight | Shape hidden alliances and outsmart rivals in A War of Whispers. | | Item Weight | 1.45 kg | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Tabletop Tycoon | | Manufacturer Part Number | 228828 | | Manufacturer recommended age | 14 years and up | | Material Type | Cardboard, Plastic | | Minimum Age Recomendation | 168 | | Model Number | 228828 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Players | 4 | | Operation Mode | manual | | Rulebook Availability | Printed Included | | Set Name | Collector’s Edition | | Size | 11.65" x 11.65" x 2.17" | | Supported Battery Types | Not required | | Theme | Military | | UPC | 610585962251 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![A War of Whispers Collector's Edition Board Game – 2–5 Players - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81V6OxFnweL.jpg) ![A War of Whispers Collector's Edition Board Game – 2–5 Players - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/915Wl0zWJmL.jpg) ![A War of Whispers Collector's Edition Board Game – 2–5 Players - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rQGo+z+GL.jpg) ![A War of Whispers Collector's Edition Board Game – 2–5 Players - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71W90LeSJlL.jpg) ![A War of Whispers Collector's Edition Board Game – 2–5 Players - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GqthpcBXL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Edition** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are the dark alliance expansion and the treasure and conquest cards within the actual game box?** A: The Treasure and Conquest expansion is already included in the Collector's Edition.

The whole family loved it. I'm glad I got the premium edition as the add ons are well worth it and make the gameplay better. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great game with excellent depth & relatively easy to learn *by A***E on May 7, 2021* This game has a great unique spin. Rather than everyone having their own units and armies to use, the units in this game are shared. Every player has certain "preferred" armies they want to win territory and others they want to lose. You can accomplish this goal by influencing armies to expand their territory, or sabotage the ones you dislike. Works really well at a variety of player counts 2-4 as well. The collectors edition doesn't add a ton to the game, but having the plastic cities, towers, and farms is a beneficial visual when playing, and the added cards can keep things fresh if you play alot. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to learn, fun to play *by W***R on April 28, 2022* I'm not a fan of overcomplicated games that take WAY too long to setup, so this game made me very happy. Easy to setup, easy to learn, and allows a variety of different strategy options to outwit your opponents and control the board in your favor. ## Frequently Bought Together - Starling Games A War of Whispers Collector's Edition - Plunder A Pirate's Life - Strategy Board Game for Adults, Teens, and Kids - Family Game Night --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/286409876-a-war-of-whispers-collectors-edition-board-game-2-5](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/286409876-a-war-of-whispers-collectors-edition-board-game-2-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-21*
