	Description Edit \| History

A miniatures wargame without the miniatures. Each player builds an army using cardboard disks and then battle it out. Each disk represents one unit in the army, and most units have special abilities. Disks are moved around the table by flipping them end over end. The game rules come with multiple scenarios that accommodate 2 or more players.
