Now in it's 8th GMT Printing, designer Reiner Knizia's Battle Line is our #2 best-selling game of All-time! This new re-themed version of Battle Line is a two-player strategy card game built around Medieval warfare. This re-themed version of Battle Line comes with 60 beautiful new cards by illustrator Roland MacDonald, as well as 10 full-color tactics "wildcards" that give players extra flexibility and choices and help make each new battle wildly different from the last.
Battle Line takes roughly 30 minutes to play. To win, you must make powerful formations along your side of the line of battle that are superior to those of your enemy. Victory goes to the person who wins 5 of the 9 battle flags (an envelopment) or three adjacent flags (a breakthrough). Based on Reiner Knizia's original design published in Germany as Shotten-Totten, Battle Line enhances and expands that game system to give players more tactical options and gut-wrenching decisions.
Battle Line places you in charge of your army's strategies. How will you setup your formations? Will you use your powerful KingsGuard to vanquish your enemy, or maybe send the King of England or France to the front to win a critical flag? Or maybe you'll rely on your spies to determine the enemy's strengths and weaknesses before committing your best forces. You'll always have plenty of options. With every card played, you'll determine the strength and direction of your attack while plotting to hold off your enemy's advances.
In Battle Line, you and your opponent lead the combined arms of the greatest units of that era. Will you, like the great Kings of times past, reign supreme? Play Battle Line, and find out for yourself.
