Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 7.4 out of 10

    I really like this type of 2 player, themed abstract game. This one shines and will have a permanent place on my shelf. I like the box, the table presence, and the casual-yet-thinky strategy feel it has.

  2. 6 out of 10

    Seems really luck dependant. Drew some good coins in the first rounds and my opponent could not really get into the game afterwards. Gorgeous presentation and material though.

  3. 4.5 out of 10

    Serious end-game issues in what should be a light tactical game. Just play Hoplomachus, which is vastly superior.

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!
