## Description

BATTLEFIELD STRATEGY: Two player Chess-like strategy game that plays in under 30 minutes.

Review: Strategy, Easy to Learn, High Replayability, and Quick Turnarounds - It’s a tactical strategy game that feels like a modern twist on classic chess, but with a unique bag-building mechanic that adds an exciting layer of unpredictability and strategic planning. Each game is a battle of wits where players draft unique units with distinct abilities, creating an ever-changing tactical puzzle. The bag-building mechanic (where you draw units to take actions) adds an element of resource management and forces you to carefully plan your moves while adapting to the luck of the draw. The rules are straightforward enough to learn in minutes, but the layers of strategy ensure it stays engaging after countless plays. Every decision feels meaningful, whether it’s deploying units, controlling key points, or outmaneuvering your opponent. The production quality is also top-tier. The poker chip-style unit tokens feel hefty and satisfying to handle, and the minimalist artwork on the board and cards is clean and elegant. This makes the game not only fun to play but also a joy to interact with. Whenever I introduce someone to our gaming group I usually start with this game since it's so simple yet a ton of fun to play. It has a lot of replayability and a quick turnaround time. Highly recommended for any collection.
Review: A very nice abstract strategy game that is quick to learn. - Warchest is very solid title for an abstract strategy game with just enough luck mixed in to the formula to keep it interesting and enough variety to keep it fresh for a good while. Couple that with needlessly (but very nice) quality components and a very easy learning curve for its base concepts and you have the makings for a fantastic and long lived title. Players represent either the wolves or the ravens in a 1v1 or 2v2 battle to try and claim six (or eight in 2v2) control points before the other side. I could go into depth on how to play it but there exists a couple of Youtube videos about it that do a better job than me (One where you learn it in 3 minutes for a basic rundown and a more in depth one by Rodney Smith of Watch It Played who both do a better job than I do in terms of explanation of such rules and concepts). So I will tell you what I like about the game, what I don't like about the game, and who I personally think will enjoy it. Pros + Easy to learn +The poker chips pieces (called coins) are sturdy and have some good heft +The velvet bags and storage box are wonderfully built and the board is nice and thick +A little bit of luck of the draw keeps the game interesting + Fast time between player turns keep the action moving and the game relatively brisk while greatly minimizing analysis paralysis (although not outright removing it) Cons - The board itself isn't the best at lying flat - The discs marking the control points are just cardboard token and given the premium feel to the rest of the components they come off as a glaringly out of place cheap place holder - A bad deal when playing random teams can have your opponent running all over the board like a madman almost right out the gate while you barely start to move. As such draft is the better way to play after a couple of games are under your belt I think people who enjoy strategy games will enjoy this, but not pure strategy game fans (like go or chess players) hence there is luck involved. I don't think it is light enough in terms of overall play for many casual gamers to enjoy it. By casual gamers I mean people who rarely touch board games in general and when they do they like fast party games and that is about it (I feel ya, folks Quiplash is my kryptonite). So I would say it occupies a very solid middle of the road spot in my gaming library. Got a few friends who enjoy board gaming a lot but don't go deep into heavily skill focused game like chess, they might enjoy this game a lot. I know my group does.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great game!!! Recommend to everyone.
*by C***E on December 11, 2022*

This is a great game for adults and kids alike. 2-4 player is available but 4 player is the way to go. The poker chip style pieces are amazing and heavy duty, they give the game the much more tactile feel. The rules are very well balanced and while easy to play, every game requires new strategy due to the card distribution for each draw. I also think it’s great for kids to get introduced to war gaming and prepares them for Undaunted, arguably the best war game ever made. Took this on a business trip for 2 weeks and we played constantly. Buy it now!
