Battleground Fantasy Warfare: High Elves (2007)

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. Centuries of training have produced a lethal High Elf army ready to take the field. Gleaming chariots, deadly scorpion bolt-throwers, powerful battlemages, and masterful warriors with magic swords are ready for your orders.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 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.
