The Warlord Game (1977)

About this game

The Warlord Game is a medieval wargame along the lines of "Fief" or the computer wargame "Lords of the Realm". You are a Knight. You hold one fief, and you live in Medieval Germany. By conquest and courage, you must unite up to 17 fiefs in your area and become King or Emperor. Tournaments, mercenaries, random events, and knavery add spice to an otherwise conventional game of medieval conquest.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.7/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
