Havoc: The Hundred Years War (2005)

About this game

Havoc: the Hundred Years War is a card game where players compete in a series of battles by recruiting soldiers to form sets (poker hands) to win victory points. The Dogs of War are used to retrieve soldiers from the battlefield or to draw extra resources. After 8 skirmishes a final battle ends the game and crowns a new king based on total victory points.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
