Chaos Marauders (Second Edition)

Players take the roles of rival Orc war chieftains assembling raiding bands and moving toward war. Each player builds up to three battle lines by placing unit cards between a musician and a standard bearer, with lines scoring combat strength from the combined battle ratings of their units. On a turn players draw and play cards, placing units into lines or discarding cards for special effects. Completed lines that have a musician and standard bearer and filled spaces may attack another player’s line; battles compare summed ratings with a fate die adding variability. Loot taken from defeated lines provides victory points, and players can also combine cards into larger units such as war machines.
