Chevauchee

About this game

From the rules: "Chevauchee (translated: 'War Ride') is a simple card-based medieval battle game for 2 players. Players draw cards from several decks to form a Base Force made up of Household units, Commanders, Tactics Cards, Mercenaries, Levies, and Weapons and Equipment. Players can then allocate funds from the war chest to get additional Mercenaries, Levy, or Weapons and Equipment to customize their armies further. Players then proceed to deploy for two combats, the Van, which is an abbreviated engagement, and the Main, which is the heart of the game. Victory goes to the side that sweeps the battlefield of all opposing units by the end of any Main Combat Round (not Van)."
