- A new game by the designer of coup
- In Melee You want to be the first person to capture an opposing castle or to have the most land and gold at the end of the year
- Money is tight, and gold is used in the game both to build new units and to attack
- The more gold you have and spend on your troops, the more motivated they will be and the higher your probability of success
- 20 minute "war game" that is nasty, brutish, and short for 2-4 players
