About the game
Easy and fast game for 2 to 6 players where you battle your friends with the most iconic weapons from geek culture trying to be the last one standing. Every player draws 5 cards and the starting player places a weapon from his hand and attacks the player to his right (then draws a card), the next player will need to place a weapon equal or more powerful weapon to survive and so on. When a player can't place a weapon or a power card, he loses a round and the player who killed him obtains a heart token. The first to obtain 3 hearts, wins the game.

Questions and answers
Weapon Wars supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Weapon Wars is 10–40 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Weapon Wars for ages 6 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.
Weapon Wars has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
