AEG War Chest | Bag-Building Medieval Board Game with Chess-Inspired Strategy | 2–4 Players

Battlefield strategy in a compact, engaging package

AEG War Chest is a two-player bag-building strategy game that captures the feel of a fast chess duel on a medieval map. Each session finishes in under 30 minutes, making it ideal for a quick challenge or a tight date night with a friend.

How you play

In each match, you draft from your bag and deploy units to the board, balancing your on-table forces with reserves tucked away in the bag. The goal is to outmaneuver your opponent through smart placement, anticipation, and a touch of luck when you draw from your stock.

• Battlefield strategy with a chess-like rhythm in a compact playtime.
• Rule your kingdom by learning tactics that reflect kings, queens, and warriors.
• Easy to learn yet with depth from asymmetric units that each carry unique abilities.
• Head-to-head battles that reward skillful deployment and careful reserve management.
• High quality components that include weighted coins for tactile gameplay.

What sets War Chest apart is how it blends familiar strategic feel with a fresh bag-building mechanic. You’ll enjoy the tactile weight of coins clinking as you set up a new round, the satisfying slide of tokens into bags, and the satisfying snap of a well-timed move. The rules are approachable enough for newcomers, yet the array of unit abilities and strategic choices delivers meaningful decisions for seasoned players.
