  1. 3 out of 10

    A handful of decisions (usually 2-5, lots of them no-brainers) per turn and the rest is randomized book keeping. Bad.

  2. 2 out of 10

    I really wonder how something so bad (and with so poorly written rulebook) could be published. Graphics are the only thing that is ok in this game. (My coplayers suggest it can work better for 4players - we played 3. I doubt the difference would make it more playable.) We really, really tried to figure what some rules are for - the flicking to Away power, the need to make reinforcement pile first and then draw from it instead from the deck, etc. The only strategy there is 'hm, which one of ...6? cards should I choose?', so plenty of choices! Rest is practically automatical, just count and do the only option you have. And if you are really unlucky on a draw, you can have a round when you just cannot attack.

    Great game that is flat-out fun to play, quick and has some of the best artwork I've seen in a card game. Even the strategy is a bit deeper than you'd think. Very well done!

Kharnage is a fast and fun fighting game in a med-fan world in which you are the warchief of the mighty humans, the strong (and alcoholic) dwarves, the amazing horde of goblins, or the ferocious orcs (and their giant!). Your goal in Kharnage is to take control of something strategically essential, astoundingly beautiful, and envy of all other nations: a hill. Yes, just a hill. Admittedly, it is a nice hill. It may have a very commanding view of the surroundings, or it may not. You won’t know until you get up there! To do so, you’re going to have to drive off the armies of the other players by simply causing as much mayhem and bloodshed as possible.

Each turn, you choose one battle card. The player with the lowest initiative value begins and:

Deploys new units and applies skills if needed, or
Attacks (shoot or assault) one opponent with all points, or two opponents by dividing their points.

The next player then begins their turn, doing the same. After all players have taken their turn, the player who destroyed the largest number of units wins 5 domination points, the second 3 domination points, and the third 1 domination point. The last one has only their eyes for crying.

Each time a player totally destroys an opponent army, they must yell "KHARNAGE!", loud and clear, and stomp the table. They then take a Kharnage token worth 1 domination point. The other players must cheer them on by yelling "YEAH!"; if not, they lose a Kharnage token if they have one.

After four rounds, the warchief with the most domination points wins!
