Editorial Review

Balanx is a board game with a difference. The board--an 8.5-inch square of black plastic with a series of grooves cut out of it--has two small projections on its underside, which cause it to tilt towards one player or another depending on how you place the 20 (10 black, 10 white) 1-inch game balls. Another unusual thing: you start with your pieces on the opposite side of the board, the object being to be faster than your opponent in bringing them all home. A fascinating mental challenge. --Richard Farr

Product Description

This game is based upon Richard Borg's Command and Colors system. The world of BattleLore meshes history and fantasy together - putting players in command of an array of miniature troops on the battlefields of a Medieval Europe Uchronia at the outset of the Hundred Years War. In this fantastical re-imagining of the Hundred Years War, French and English armies are supplemented with Goblins and Dwarves mercenaries and even some creatures like Giant Spider! Just as important as the armies you have, though, are the Lore Masters you choose to aid you: Wizards, Clerics, Warriors and Rogues can all aid you with unique powers and spells in ways role-playing gamers will find familiar.
