BattleTech Science Fiction Combat Book Game: SHD-2H Shadow Hawk (1987)

About this game

Based on the fantasy Lost Worlds game books (but incompatible with the Lost Worlds series). Each player uses a book and a stat sheet that represent their 'mech. By giving your opponent your book, and taking theirs, you get to see the actual first person view in the combat.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.9/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
