Greyhawk Adventures: Wars (1991)

About this game

A depiction of the wars of Greyhawk, designed from the Dungeons and Dragons roleplaying system world-setting as a stand-alone war game. Players are on the 'good' or 'evil' sides and command armies of various creatures in a battle for control of territory. As an added twist, characters can be 'heroes' that search out magical items and fight monsters to obtain the items in side-adventures. Comes with a 'historical' booklet describing the wars for the role-playing crowd.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.3/5 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.
