Battle Blocks: Sengoku

Battle Blocks: Sengoku

2021·Robert Lloyd

2 - 4 players
15 - 45 min
Medium weight: Teach it in one sitting

From BoardGameGeek

Play out fast and simple battles during the Sengoku period in Japan! Streamlined and simple rules allow for games to be played in 20-30 minutes. Using home made blocks, and simple terrain (or no terrain at all!) as well as the included unit counters allows players to quickly construct an attractive looking game which can be taken almost anywhere. Each turn the players roll a die to determine initiative for the round. Play then proceeds into the command phase where players spend action points on moving their blocks around on the board. The game ends when one player defeats the other by destroying 4 of their opponent's blocks. Players can use 3D terrain, hand drawn maps, or just a kitchen table to play on. The goal of the design is so make wargaming as easy and simple as possible to get into. The use of coloured blocks and action dice also means the transition to wargaming is made easier for those who currently only play traditional board and counter games. Movement is regulated in inches using tape measures or home made measuring sticks and the rules of the game fit onto a single side of A4.
