Battleground Fantasy Warfare: Dwarves of Runegard (2006)

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. The Dwarves of Runegard combine stalwart infantry with the mystic power of runes kept sacred for generations. Control the battlefield with might and magic while ballistae devastate your enemies from afar.

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.
