What is Championship?

Championship is one of three primary play formats available to Warhammer Underworlds players. These formats allow players to interact with the game in unique ways. Each format brings its own strengths and together they serve as pillars for organized play. Championship offers players the highest level of creative expression and playstyle support, as the breadth of cards available allows you to construct a tightly tuned deck that defines and supports a concise goal. As a result, games of Championship bring exciting and varied challenges to the table!

Official Championship Format Document (shares documentation with the Relic format)
