IHMIn Her Majesty’s Name is a miniatures war game that is set in a steam pink setting of 1895. Small bands of of figures are assembled to fight over the objectives you establish. This is a skirmish game where you will generally field not more than ten models per player. Written by by Craig Cartmell and Charles Murton the book totals 64 pages costs about 15.00 and is also available as a pdf. If you know of any book published by Osprey publishing you already know the quality you’re getting.

This Skirmish game can be bloody quick. I’ve had games last as little as 15 minutes or as long as an hour. Play is pretty smooth, it uses an alternate activation system where models take turns following the model play of move and shoot.

Sellswords is a 2 player grid building Othello-like card game that has a drafting mechanic,  Since it is a drafting mechanic and is played with an open hand there is a tremendous amount of tactical thinking.  Sellswords can be learned in less than fifteen minutes and takes about 30 minutes to play.

I’m a huge fan of Sellswords.  I think it’s the best 2 player game of 2014.  Run over to Level 99 get yourself a copy
