Description Description
Fully German edition of 'War Chest'. On the battlefield, it is important to make wise decisions and strategically deploy your own units to defeat the opponent. Another good exercise is to recreate historical battles and see if they have a different outcome... In War Chest, two players or two teams compete against each other. Depending on the chosen variant, they have predetermined units available or they choose them themselves. In each turn, players draw unit coins from their bags, which they place openly or hidden to perform actions. For example, they can deploy units on the board or recruit new coins from their supply (placing them in the bag). Units on the board can be reinforced by stacking another coin on them, or they can move or attack. Players send their units into battle to strategically control important positions. Each type of unit has unique characteristics and tactics that can be used, so players must always carefully consider which unit to use most effectively. The game ends when a player places their last control marker. Additionally, there is the possibility to recreate historical battles. The rulebook contains unit listings and brief summaries of the battles. Game contents: 74 unit coins, 4 king's coins, 1 initiative marker, 16 unit cards, 16 faction control markers, 4 bags, 1 game board, 1 rulebook. Warning! This item is not suitable for children under 3 years old. Choking hazard, as small parts can be swallowed or inhaled.

Aside from chess this is the best abstract game I've ever played. Extremely varied and so many tactical decisions. This is an evergreen.

Played this hundreds and hundreds of times. Immense replay value, great components, fun and exciting every time. Great online community, too (on Discord).

Peak, 2-player games can be so special. This one will never get stale, I will always be down for War Chest when it's me and one other. Both Siege & Nobility expansion I consider to be necessary as they add even more variety with eight more units to draft from.

El mejor abstracto asimétrico que existe. Eso sí, tiene una curva de aprendizaje alta y premia mucho la experiencia, un jugador nuevo no tiene chances contra uno experimentado hasta no aprender varias cosas. Esto puede ser una característica buena o mala depende lo que busques del juego, para mi es buena porque le da muchísima profundidad y rejugabilidad.

Close to a abstract game but with immense variation with the different units. Can't really rate this game high enough. It really delivers. Be wary of many rule exception convolutions.
