Master the Ancient Arts of War

Designers: Trevor Benjamin & David Thompson

To succeed you must successfully manage not only your armies on the battlefield, but those that are waiting to be deployed. Each round you will draw 3 Unit Coins from your bag and 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 is the winner!

Dice tower seal of excellence

War Chest is an easy-to-learn, tricky-to-master, elegant battlefield strategy game. Game play is simple and available to even non-gamers, whilst at the same time presenting depth of play and replayability.
The game is presented in a box that appears to be old and well loved. It is an ancient game, newly rediscovered and presented as it would have once been gifted to the sons and daughters of kings, as a way for them to learn battlefield strategy.

Game Expansions

Nobility

The chivalric system was a huge part of medieval warfare. Various offices of state were handed out to the highborn of the land, from Bannermen that surrounded kings and queens, to Earls and Heralds enacting their liege’s will across the realm. Bishoprics had much land and influence associated with them, and were sought after position for nobles.

Can you add these four new influential units to your force, and use royal proclamations to your advantage, to once again triumph in this masterful game of tactical warfare?

Siege

In War Chest: Siege™ you will be confronted with fortified locations. Fear not, you have siege towers and trebuchets at your disposal and hardy sappers to both build your own fortifications and undermine your opponents’.

Can you successfully return to the battlefield with your war engines in this ingenious and engaging game of tactics and strategy?

Nightfall

In some cases, more subtle and perhaps deadly tactics are used. From fake letters and treaties, feigned retreats or advances, poisoned water supplies, assassinations and infiltration, many things can happen in the dark to throw an enemy into disarray before the main battle ever starts.

In War Chest: Nightfall, you will have the opportunity to use specialized units to hamper and hinder your opponent’s attempts to effectively mobilize their forces. Mastering the art of subterfuge will be key to success with this new and exciting expansion for the classic War Chest strategy and tactics game!

Tournament Kit

The War Chest tournament kit comes with a set of rules for running different styles of tournaments, as well as as series of new royal coins, control markers, seals, and an initiative marker, as prizes for players to customize their game. These can be used as an alternative to the base game components, and depict the Bear and Stag factions. Gold and silver colored versions of the coins allow players to secure bragging rights based on their finishing position!
