  1. 10 out of 10

    Best Two player game in my collection. !!!!Everyone that says it has too much luck involved is making poor choices in their actions!!!!!!!!! You can manipulate the amount of luck involved in the game by the various actions you can make through out the game. A player that knows how to manipulate the luck will win 100% of the time with any units against someone who just keeps recruiting and filling their bag with luck. Your actions will determine whether your bag is unpredictable or guaranteed to give you the piece you need at the right time. The game has more depth than any review gives it credit for. The quality of the pieces are top notch as well. The game only really lasts 10-15 mins but with unit drafting and different matchups this game can be played for hours and leave you still thinking about unit combinations and tactics.

    Sólo una partida, enormes posibilidades estratégicas en este juego más abstracto pero muy variado y rico en sus mecánicas. Deseando repetir

  3. 9 out of 10

    This is an asymmetric wargame on the minimap, the goal of which is to capture five outpasts, while at least one of which will be in the opponent's half. The game begins you recruit (used elimination draft) a squad of 4 unique units, which will quickly capture and defend posts for a long time, attack enemy units and prevent their attack, while a certain type of units will be appropriate for each task, so need to choose wisely, taking into account both the interaction between their units and with enemy ones. During the game, you collect the number of units of certain types you need in the bag and already directly dispose of what came from the bag on your turn, there is a small randomness in this, but the probability of the appearance of the desired unit depends entirely on how fill your bag. The game is quite skill dependent but doesn't have the same depth as chess, the strategic and tactical aspects are separated and corresponding to initial draft and bag building. A very competitive game that makes you use one's wits and play a lot of thrilling games to get it

War Chest is an all-new bag-building war game! At the start of the game, raise your banner call (drafting) several various units into your army, which you then use to capture key points on the board. To succeed in War Chest, you must successfully manage not only your armies on the battlefield, but those that are waiting to be deployed.

Each round you draw three unit coins from your bag, then take turns using them to perform actions. Each coin shows a military unit on one side and can be used for one of several actions. The game ends when one player — or one team in the case of a four-player game — has placed all of their control markers. That player or team wins!
