About this board game

Batt’l Kha’os is a two-player tile game of orc and knight combat, with matches lasting about 30 minutes. As Purple and Orange collide in a chaotic melee, players compete to control the mage towers scattered across the battlefield.

Players place tiles to establish army majorities on the corners of the towers. Each tower has four corners to resolve, and once all four are settled, the player with the majority of corners claims control of that tower. The central objective is clear: seize more towers than your opponent and reap the seeds of victory.

Strategic choices become more flexible through the game’s special power tokens. These tokens can increase your presence at a contested location, reduce your opponent’s presence, or produce other useful effects. Timing these powers can shift the balance in a battle that may remain uncertain until the final corners are resolved.

  • Two-player combat between orcs and knights
  • Tile placement focused on corner majorities
  • Mage towers as strategic objectives
  • Special power tokens that alter player presence
  • Five special tiles for additional strategies

With its compact format and direct contest for territory, Batt’l Kha’os turns every tower into a potential turning point. The game debuted in Fangs and Swords as a two-player tile game of orc-versus-knight combat, with the listed release year of 2009.
