In Conflict, you move military miniatures on a square grid to capture opponent units or their home space. Dice rolls determine how far your units—planes, battleships, artillery—can move. The game ends when all enemy pieces are captured or home spaces taken. It combines chance and strategy in an asymmetric battle.
Who Is This Game For?
Conflict is a mid-level strategy game suitable for players aged 10 and up. With a 30-minute playtime, it fits short game sessions. Players with some experience in wargames or miniatures will better appreciate its tactical depth combined with dice luck.
How It Works
Core mechanics include Dice Rolling, Grid Movement, and Alliances. Players roll two six-sided dice to move two units on a square grid. Different units have specific movement rules: battleships move on water, artillery and anti-air on land, planes on both. Capturing occurs by moving over enemy pieces. Exact dice rolls are needed to capture home spaces.
What Makes It Special
Published by Parker Brothers in 1940, Conflict blends classic wargame miniature movement on a grid with dice-based movement. Though it has no known awards, it is an early example of modern miniatures wargaming with straightforward yet strategic rules.
