We used mummies and dwarfs from Lego .
The dwarfs (me) began by advancing against their implacable undead foes - the mummies (my son)!
But the mummies struck first, killing a brave dwarf warrior...
The dwarfs retaliated, clearing a path for their leader to escape...
A dwarf victory was all but assured...
But in the end, the dwarfs fall one by one to the last mummy warrior (thanks to my usual miserable dice-rolling luck!), leaving their lord to fight on alone! Who will win?
A tie! The dwarf couldn't risk losing in combat, and the mummy didn't want to risk dying in a dwarf trap. So they both danced around their side of the board until a draw was declared. They will live to fight again!
It's a fun game, kind of a cross between chess and Stratego with a die-rolling mechanic added. Fairly basic - three kinds of troops: leaders, bodyguards and warriors. Leaders are not that good in combat (roll a d4 but can re-roll), bodyguards are better (roll a d6, but can die in place of losing your leader), and warriors are the best fighters (roll a d6+1 in combat) but have no special abilities.
I can't wait to see what else my son comes up with!
'Til next time!
