Toy Battle

Toy Battle is a fast two-player strategy game where toy troops clash across eight whimsical battlefields — from Castle Field to Space Station Metal-X. Deploy your troops, outmanoeuvre your opponent, and either capture their headquarters or collect enough medals to claim victory.

On your turn, choose one of two actions:

1. Draw 2 troop tiles from your reserve onto your rack.
2. Place 1 troop on the terrain — on an empty base, one of your own, or an enemy base with a strictly lower-strength troop on top.

Every troop you place must connect back to your HQ through a continuous chain of bases you control. Stack troops on contested bases — only the top tile counts. Surround a region entirely and you claim its medals immediately, keeping them even if you lose the bases later. The game ends when someone captures an enemy HQ, hits the medal target, or a player runs out of moves.

What's good?

• Eight double-sided terrain boards mean a different battlefield every game
• Two ways to win — HQ capture or medal majority — keeps both players under pressure throughout
• Tile stacking adds a memory element: you can peek at stacks but never reorder them
• Games run to around 15 minutes, making it easy to play back-to-back

Who is it for?

• ✔ Families wanting a quick, engaging two-player duel
• ✔ Players who enjoy area control without long playtimes
• ✔ A solid gateway into tactical strategy games from age 8+
• ✖ Not suited to groups — strictly a two-player game

Toy Battle is a standalone game. No base game or expansions required.
