A war game that fits in your pocket! In Pocket Battles: Confederacy vs Union, you relive the American Civil War with two miniature armies represented by tiles. Each tile is a troop, and troops group into units on a grid of three columns and two rows. Before you begin, you set the size of the battle, then each player builds an army from a pool of troops. Some tiles hit on certain dice results, some fight only in melee while others shoot from a distance, and many have special traits that affect their whole unit or even the entire army.

On your turn, you choose which unit to send into battle. Every attack requires order tokens: a unit with no token costs just one token, but activating it again in the same round costs the number of tokens already on it, plus one. Between rounds, you may redeploy your units without spending any tokens. The battle ends when one army has eliminated at least half of the points in the opposing army.

Pocket Battles: Confederacy vs Union is for you if you enjoy quick two-player war games, tactical duels where every decision counts and games that wrap up in about thirty minutes. You will also like this strategy game if you want a compact game to slip into a bag for a duel anywhere.

The fourth title in the Pocket Battles series, this game is compatible with Celts vs Romans, Elves vs Orcs and Macedonians vs Persians, so you can field even more armies. It was designed by Paolo Mori and Francesco Sirocchi, with illustrations by Chris Quilliams.
