Battleground
A point-based fantasy tabletop wargame in which armies are represented by cards rather than miniatures. Players assemble forces from factions such as Men, Orcs, and Elves, deploy them on the battlefield, and issue orders during alternating turns. Each turn provides a limited number of Command Actions based on the army’s size. These actions can change unit orders, take direct control of a unit, rally routed troops, draw combat bonus cards, or activate a faction ability. Players must manage their commands carefully while directing charges, flanking maneuvers, and battlefield movement.

from 2 Ludoya reviews
I tend to shy away from "dicey" games, but here the quantity mitigates the randomness to a degree. While the rules could be a bit better, this is a solid game with high replayability. Great for a miniature gamer on the go or (like me) someone with no desire to spend tons of money and time on a gaming sub-genre. Well done, Your Move Games.
