War Chest
Draft your army, draw your chips, and outmaneuver on the battlefield
Who it's for
Abstract strategy fans who want more variety than chess with just enough randomness to keep things fresh. Excellent at 2 players, solid as 2v2 teams.
Not for you if…
Players who want rich thematic narratives or dislike any randomness in their abstract games.
Vibe's take
Elegant, tactical, thinky, crisp
About this game
War Chest is an abstract strategy game disguised as a medieval wargame. Players draft units with unique abilities, then draw chips from a bag to deploy, move, and attack on a shared board. The bag-building mechanism adds a layer of uncertainty to otherwise pure tactical decisions.
