Dice … is it really a wargame without them?

One A Day - Day 4

I’ve left it very late today to write my article (it’s currently 7:10pm), they are certainly taking much longer than the 25-30 minutes I spent painting each of the Necrons!  I also have a terrible hang over so I’m going to keep this one short, super short.

Tribal uses a deck of cards rather than dice

One of my favourite tabletop wargames doesn’t use any dice.  Tribal, published by Mana Press, is a game of skirmish combat set pre-gunpowder and pre-colonialisation.  It’s a quick, fun and easy game to play and learn, I did a full series on my RubbishInRubbishOut channel if you want to see how it’s played.

The game uses a deck of cards instead of dice, it doesn’t even use a tape measure, distances are also managed using cards!

I’m really not going to be able to write a long article today, my head is killing me and I really just want to lay down, so I’m going to finish up here and simple ask the question.

Is it really a wargame if it doesn’t use dice?
