Terrain Vague (1993)

About this game

Having many system similarities to Full Metal Planète, Terrain Vague is a war game-ish game based on young gangs of kids fighting over turf in a junk yard. Imagine an R-rated Little Rascals movie with weapons and you get the idea. A winner of the 1992 Concours International de Créateurs de Jeux de Société.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 3.2/5 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.
