TANKS: The Modern Age – M1 vs T-64 Starter Set (2018)

About this game

TANKS: The Modern Age is an easy to learn, quick-play, small-scale game, where you take command of a Tank Platoon, seeking to destroy your opponent’s tanks and secure victory. TANKS is a flexible game with lots of ways to create a finely-tuned platoon that fits your play style. The game is fast and furious, do-ordie. In an hour, you can pick your tanks and crew, upgrade them to your specifications, defeat your enemy (or die trying), and be ready for the rematch! —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
