Frenzy (2003)

About this game

Frenzy! is an innovative, fast-and-furious non-collectible gaming approach to fantasy battles, where players must manage a real-time skirmish evolving before them, while carefully keeping a watchful eye on their supply lines. The game has four different races with Orcs, Knights, Undead, and Dwarves each represented in their own furious strength, skills, art, special abilities, and assortment of cards. It was designed by Eric Lang, lead designer of the Game of Thrones CCG.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 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.
