Battleground Fantasy Warfare: Monsters & Mercenaries (2008)

About this game

Not playable on their own as you need two starter decks to play the game. Battleground Fantasy Warfare is a point-based tabletop tactical wargame in which units are represented by cards. An expansion to Battleground Fantasy Warfare, this faction is uniquely designed so that its units can be hired by players using other factions, making it a must-have for all Battleground players.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.7/5 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.
