Diskwars: Legend of the Five Rings (2000)

About this game

Similar to the Diskwars game but with a Legend of the Five Rings flavor. The units on the board are disks which also contain all the information about the unit. Movement is accomplished by flipping the disk over a number of times equal to it's movement. Combat occurs when a disk overlaps an enemy disk. Anyone familiar with Diskwars will feel at home with this game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.4/5 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.
