About the game
Confrontation is a miniature skirmish game. Each blister of Rackham miniatures contains the game rules and a reference card giving the statistics of the miniatures just bought. Just like in similar games, players assemble an army of a certain race. Each warrior is paid for by points; the better it's capabilities, the higher it's point cost. From the rules: Confrontation is a game which marks the beginning of Rag'narok in skirmishes with often crucial consequences. Confrontation offers a simple game system that enables you to simulate small skirmishes between rival factions with loads of game play and fun. To start playing Confrontation, you will need a few 6 sided dice (D6). You can start a game with your friends just after choosing your figurines ! As you build up bigger armies, you will be able to use the Rag'narok rules to simulate bigger conflicts. Some rules differ between Confrontation and Rag'narok but to go from one system to the other will present no difficulty, the game principles being the same. Re-implemented by: Confrontation: The Age of the Rag'Narok Rag'narok Expanded by: Confrontation: Dogs of War See also: Tabletop RPG Cadwallon

The listed playing time for Confrontation is 120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Confrontation for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Confrontation has a complexity rating of 3.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight game.
