Necromunda is a tabletop skirmish war game produced by Games Workshop. In Necromunda, players control rival gangs battling each other in the Underhive, a place of anarchy and violence in the depths below Hive City. Necromunda is the world that the games occurs on and is the same world from the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The board is set up like a heavily polluted cityscape and the players control gangs of usually no more than a dozen models. Unlike Warhammer 40,000, Necromunda focuses on how your gang develops and grows in campaign style play. Rules-wise, the game draws heavily from second-edition Warhammer 40,000, and the ruleset is commonly considered to be better-suited for the type of skirmish games Necromunda encourages.
Necromunda stands out from other games by Games Workshop by the way the table is laid out. In most Games Workshop games the table is mostly flat, with the only terrain features being a few hills, trees, and maybe a bridge or a building. However in Necromunda you can play in large buildings which may have many floors, as well as have bridges and walkways connecting the buildings together. There are other terrains such as chemical wastelands, barrels, watch towers, abandoned factories, and other dystopian environments that add a large amount of variety in playing areas.
Games Workshop's Specialist Games division occasionally publishes new rules on their website (http://www.specialist-games.com/necromunda/default.htm). They also recently published the full rules for the game for download (as a PDF file), referred to as the Necromunda Living Rulebook (http://www.specialist-games.com/necromunda/assets/lrb/NECROLRB.pdf). As is implicit in the name, this document is often updated and rewritten, based largely on the work of avid volunteers and playtesters in the official Specialist Games forums.
