Battlemist (1998)

About this game

In this fantasy relative to Twilight Imperium, players control races that must juggle military and economic concerns with a quest to gather the magical stars spread across the land. The game board is made up of hex tiles and players use a resource system that has similarities to The Settlers of Catan. A card driven system resolves players' quests. Expanded by: Battlemist: The Sails of War Reimplemented by: Runewars

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 3.2/5 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.
