  1. 6 out of 10

    Very abstract, but it's a combat simulator / sandbox. Almost a good place to start to find the bones of a game then hunt for a theme.

  2. #6 dice tower advanced two player game. Top 10 list, best hybrid games. Zee Garcia says number six for him.

  3. 6 out of 10

    Rating based on this game for me, which it is not. Too many asymmetric powers for my poor brain to take in, and I didn't find the gameplay that interesting to make me want to expend the energy on remembering what each unit could do. Played turn-based on Yucata, so maybe better face-to-face? Rating marked upwards after a few more games have helped me to become more familiar with the powers. Still turn-based and suspect a lot better face-to-face.

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!
