Duel Masters: Battle of the Creatures Board Game (2004)

About this game

From the game box: You're the duelist as you move around the gameboard in search of the powers of the Five Civilizations. Summon your creatures to the board and battle your opponents. Go creature-to-creature with your opponent in an all-out dice duel! If your creature has more power than your opponent, you win and your opponent's creature takes a hit. If you lose, your creature is out of the game. Be the first to collect all five power chips from Fire, Water, Nature, Light and Darkness and you'll win! Gameboard * 70 Creature Pawns * 35 Pawn Stands * 14 Battle Dice * 12-sided die * 25 Power Chips * Instructions

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
