PeaceBowl (2003)

About this game

PeaceBowl is a fast paced tactical game for 2-4 players. Each one leads a team composed by 3-5 warriors. Cards are played which affect what's going on in the game: HIT! -- take down opponents, PASS! -- launch the ball at your receivers anywhere on the game field RAGE! -- break out of a fray Dealer gives 5 action cards to each player. In a game using the Basic Rules cards stay face up. With the Complete Rules you play with hidden cards and the games become much more fun because it becomes harder to foresee enemy interactions. In fact, many cards can be played that may break your opponent's sequence of play, during his/her turn. Also, with the Complete Rules you play with Special Cards that always offer different ways of being used. It's up to you to choose the best way, based on differing game situations. Enjoy hit and be hit, and have fun! Peace, Love... Fight! Expanded by: Peacebowl Six

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
