What is War Chest

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!

De primeras tube la sensación que la aleatoriedad de las fichas robadas de la bolsa podía ser demasiado, para un juego de batallas tan abstracto. Después de unas partidás mas vi que los planes a largo plazo están muy condicionadas por tomar buenas decisiones sobre las fichas desplegadas, y que esto tiene más peso que el hecho de la aletoriedad de la bolsa. Muy disfrutable.

Juego de batallas basado en la ajedrez, en la que hay multitud de piezas diferentes y cada una con sus habilidades propias. El juego consiste en conseguir dominar varias ubicaciones (seis a dos jugadores, ocho, si se juega por parejas) usando las piezas que te han tocado y combinando sus movimientos. Interesante y absorvente. Tiene el puntito intelectual del ajedrez, combinado con una mecánica de descarte y refuerzo que le da un toque de profundidad. Es un juego para echarle partidas. Aunque admite juego por parejas, yo creo que lo suyo es jugarlo a dos.
