Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 10 out of 10

    Best Chess variant on the market. Logistics is a huge factor. Excellent simulation in risk management. Outstanding at teaching the value of avoiding high risk low reward decisions.

  2. 8 out of 10

    Nice, attractively packaged abstract themed loosely on medieval battles. Players use deck building to draw unit chips from a bag and can deploy, reinforce, recruit, or take manoeuvres on the battlefield. Very rules light, but quick rich game play on a very confined playing area. The unit tactics and abilities seem well through out. Early days, but this one seems to be a winner.

  3. 8 out of 10

    + Amazing components help to add to the interesting bag-building mechanic supporting the solid tactical play; the different unit combinations make each new play fresh and interesting. - I wish there was a way to have the units on the board be identified by player color as well as by unit type.

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!
