MechWarrior: Age of Destruction takes place in the 32nd-century, in a universe of strong factions and dynamic cultures with long-standing allegiances and short fuses! Galactic conflict can break out at any time, bringing together armies of three-story-high robot vehicles called BattleMechs bristling with weaponry. Combat is explosive and deadly.

Mechwarrior: Age of Destruction and Mechwarrior: Dark Age are collectable miniature games produced by WizKids, LLC. Like all collectable miniature games, the product is bought as a starter kit, then additional pieces are added by purchasing booster packs. Each booster pack comes with 1 Mech, 1 vehicle, and 2 infantry pieces. The selection of pieces is random, where some pieces are more common than others.

Mechwarrior: Age of Destruction and Mechwarrior: Dark Age set the stage in a future universe where mankind has spread though the universe. Factions and Houses divide the people along cultural and ethical lines. Over time, most players develop favorite factions and strive to collect pieces to boost their armies.

Tournaments are scheduled during the month where players can face each other in organized play. These tournaments are occurring across the world, as they are organized by WizKids. Players are often asked to choose a faction to represent, and the outcome of these tournaments may have effect on the overall storyline of the game. Prize support, in the way of rare pieces, are provided by Wizkids for players who are victorious in their battles and who display strong fellowship.
