War Chest: Siege

About this expansion

War Chest: Siege is a tactical strategy game for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. Set against the backdrop of medieval warfare, it shifts attention from open-field battles to the formidable defenses of fortified locations.

Castles have grown larger and stronger, demanding more than a straightforward advance. To overcome them, you must prepare your war engines and decide how best to approach the walls. Siege towers and trebuchets give you powerful tools for attacking fortified positions, while hardy sappers support both construction and disruption.

• Use siege towers and trebuchets against fortified locations.
• Build your own fortifications with hardy sappers.
• Undermine your opponents’ fortifications through careful tactical play.

The battlefield in War Chest: Siege is shaped by opposing strongholds and the choices made around them. Building defenses can help secure your position, but sappers also offer a way to weaken the structures standing in your way. Every move contributes to the larger challenge of breaking through or protecting a castle’s walls.

Players must combine tactical awareness with strategic planning as they seek to return to the battlefield with their war engines. The result is an engaging contest centered on fortified locations, medieval siege methods, and the tension between attack and defense.

Whether you are directing a siege tower, positioning a trebuchet, or sending sappers to build or undermine fortifications, the game invites you to find a successful route through a challenging defensive landscape.
