About this game

Battleground: Crossbows & Catapults turns your tabletop into a real siege: stack plastic bricks into a fortress, then try to knock your opponent's castle flat with rubber-band-powered crossbows and catapults. Crossbows skim discs low and fast across the table, catapults lob them in a satisfying arc, and each turn you get exactly two actions to reposition a warrior, aim a weapon, or squeeze off a shot. There is no math here, only aim, and the joy of watching a well-placed shot send someone's tower crashing down. A rare wargame that is genuinely, physically fun for kids and just as fun to needle your friends with as an adult.
