Once 3 cards are placed on either side of a pawn the player having the best poker hand wins the pawn immediately. Players take turns placing a card on their own side of any one of the pawns, until they place a maximum of 3 cards at each pawn. The goal of the game is to win either three consecutive or ANY five of these pawns along the battle line. In Battle Line, players use cards as soldiers to make formations, in order to break through their opponent’s – wait for it – battle line! The table is set up with 9 pawns which are placed horizontally between the two players. A couple of weeks ago, I happened to come across Battle Line, designed by Reiner Knizia and published by GMT Games. I’m always looking for two player games that pack a lot of strategy in a small box, so I can bring them to conventions or to my local tavern in case the opportunity for a game arises.
