It plays like rummy or poker is easy to learn and has strategy and the ability to provide surprises to your opponent.

Review: Strong strategy and deduction packed into a small 2-player game - My husband and I both enjoy games: video games, card games, board games and we're on the hunt for games with an easy set-up, short game time but still with an engrossing experience. We enjoy games like Risk and Ticket to Ride but have been finding that we lack the time to put in daily gaming time with the set-up or playtime required with these types of board games. Luckily, Battle Line fits a lot of our requirements: short, easy to set-up and very engrossing. Battle Line is a blends some poker and rummy with capture the flag. You need need to create formations on one side of the flag that will overpower your opponents formation on the other. Claim three adjacent or five total flags, and you win. The rules are simple and easy to learn. Tactic cards are available and can throw an unexpected spin a turn but I find that they aren't necessary to win but nor do they ruin the overall experience. The game can move rather quickly though there are moments of analysis paralysis when a player agonizes over the decision of when and where to place a troop card and if you're opponent has a clue on what your strategy is and is purposely withholding information from you. I wasn't totally sold on the theme at first, but it fits pretty well (you feel like a general assigning incoming troops to different parts of a battlefield), If ancient battallion formations do not interest you, the theme can be ignored and we typically use usual vocabulary like "straight flush" rather than a "Wedge". The game, at 70 cards and 9 red pawn markers travels pretty well. We sleeved our set and store them in an Ultra Pro Deck Box (probably not necessary for most). The pawn markers stay home and we usually use coins, bits of paper or even sugar packets as flags when we play at cafes or restaurants. Highly recommended for two-player gamers! Review: It's difficult to find fun, replayable games designed specifically for two people - I can see why this is a couple's game many have returned to over and over again throughout the years. It's difficult to find fun, replayable games designed specifically for two people, or games that just play well repeatedly over a long period of time with only two people. Me and my wife love games, but we're always stuck playing with just the two of us, so this will be a fine addition to our collection, though I don't think anything is going to replace Patchwork, The Duke, Kingdomino, Santorini, or 7 Wonders Duel anytime soon. If you already have all of those, and you and your regular gaming partner are in need of something new, Battle Line will do just fine. Edit: It's been approximately six months since I wrote the review above. I wrote that review after me and my wife had played only three games, and I had originally only given it four stars. Now that we have 18 games logged, I'm coming back to give it five stars. And I should mention that me and my wife have a lot of games in our collection, and we cycle through them regularly to avoid anything we play feeling redundant or boring, so 18 play throughs of a single game throughout the course of six months is a lot for us. Battle Line is an excellent game. It's simple, yet devilishly challenging. This is a quietly thrilling game. You won't have any big eruptive moments, like I've experienced during other tabletop games, but that doesn't mean it isn't a game filled with painful and risky decision making, that almost always either leads to elated payoff or regret. Figuring out how long to hold onto cards, and when to finally let them go, and what position to drop them in, is way more exciting than you might ever expect it to be within your first few games. At first I thought Battle Line would simply be a fun little diversion my wife and I would bring out occasionally if we felt in the mood for it, but now I think it's going to be in our core rotation for a very long time. ## Features - For 2 players - Takes 20-30 minutes to play - 60 Troop cards, 10 Tactics cards, 9 red Plastic pawns, Rulebook ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00153TYIU | | Age Range Description | Teen | | Best Sellers Rank | #135,788 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #3,252 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Brand Name | GMT Games | | Color | Red | | Container Type | Box | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (278) | | Educational Objective | Develop strategic thinking and planning skills | | Estimated Playing Time | 30 Minutes | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00817054010226 | | Grenre | entertainment | | Included Components | Cards | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 9.12 x 6.12 x 1.5 inches | | Item Type Name | Game | | Item Weight | 0.57 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Flat River Group | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 180.0 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 168.0 | | Manufacturer Part Number | GMT 0012_SML | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | No Warranty | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | GMT 0012 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Players | 2 | | Operation Mode | manual | | Other Special Features of the Product | Hand Management, Set Collection, Ancient Warfare Theme | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Source | manual | | Product Style | Classic | | Set Name | Battle Line | | Size | 1.5 inches | | Subject Character | Ancient Battle Formation | | Theme | Cards | | UPC | 828529653442 793631617548 751195346700 885220587568 794819471648 817054010226 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![Battle Line - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91NtAz+ioML.jpg) ![Battle Line - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91OrHtHStuL.jpg) ![Battle Line - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31s2zSxfCyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strong strategy and deduction packed into a small 2-player game *by S***O on September 12, 2014* My husband and I both enjoy games: video games, card games, board games and we're on the hunt for games with an easy set-up, short game time but still with an engrossing experience.
