Chess-like abstract game with bag building. Units are drawn from a bag. Each unit has different grid movement and special abilities. Can be played 2vs2 in teams. Players try to reach their control markers on the main board. Very quick playing time. Great components (units are poker chips). Similar games: * The Duke (Tiles are pulled from a bag, double-sided tiles (defense or aggressive), capture opponent's Duke to win)

Very nice presentation and theme for an abstract Interesting but weird chip/bag building based economy. Like a mini logistics game in your chess game.

==2020/01/21== I felt apathetic after my first game. It's fine? The game is basically two systems put together. The skirmish game on the board, and the bag building on your side of the table. The bag building introduces a sort of economy (though there are no currencies in this game), in terms of how you seed the probabilities of drawing or not drawing certain coin types. The game has a bit of overlap with Exceed. In Exceed, you've always got an eye on what's left in your deck and what you might draw next. In War Chest, your ability to make plays is likewise dependent on your draws. HOWEVER, I found that the limited future foresight made the game more cautious. In the skirmish half of the game, movement and attacking are so slow and expensive that the game turned into a bitter stalemate. Neither player wants to move a unit into danger if you can't guarantee activating them soon after. You can't manage your hand to prepare for a big play later in the game. It seems like high-level strategy for the game probably would focus on managing your bag to make draws more likely that enable big plays. The skirmish part of the game didn't convince me to like skirmish games. The bag building part makes me wonder about other bag building games.
