Warhammer Warriors: Kal Jerico is a board game released in 1999 for 2 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Rick Priestley and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Simultaneous Action Selection, and Rock-Paper-Scissors.
A Warhammer version of Lost Worlds based on Games Workshop's 40,000 setting. Each player uses a battle book and chooses a page number for a maneuver for their turn. These are revealed simultaneously and cross-referenced. A chart then shows you which page to turn to see the results of the maneuvers. Players usually end up wounded or in a better position to strike a killing blow. Warhammer Warriors is slightly more stream-lined than Lost Worlds and plays faster. Warhammer Warriors does not have "behind you" maneuvers and there is a lot more shooting/ranged combat. All characters have a Deathblow maneuver which speed up games if you're in a good position. Kal Jerico is number #1 in the series.
