It is commonly played with 15mm or 28mm scale miniature figure gaming miniatures representing troops of various race fantasy fantasy races and creatures. There are 16 core armies that can be played, including elves , dwarf mythology dwarves , orcs , and multiple human races, but other armies have been made official on the Thane s Games website. Numerous monsters are also available for any army to use in their battles. The background for the game is largely open for individual players to customise themselves and not feel restricted by one official account of relations between races.

Infinite Armies is a customizable card game for two players. It was created by Greg Porter, and published in 2005 in games 2005 by Blacksburg Tactical Research Center . It follows on the success of the collectible card game genre, but establishes its own niche by focusing more on card and deck customization. It breaks from the traditional collectible card games by allowing players to fully design and customize their own cards. Players do not even buy cards, but print their own. Whether this is a viable business concept is still being tested, as most card games rely heavily on sales of cards and the continued publication of new cards. The heart of the game is a PDF file called iArmy Builder , which uses the functions of the Adobe Acrobat program to allow players to create and print their own cards using any graphics files they like. The first versions focused on traditional modern armies, with tank s, infantry , Military aircraft airpower , etc. But in theory, a player may base their cards on any idea they like, such as spacecraft , fantasy , cartoon cartoon characters , or even photos of friends and family.
