Description

Melee is a classic board game of pre-gunpowder individual combat that's easy to learn and quick to play. Designed by Steve Jackson, this 1977 game is all about strategic fighting on a hex map, where two players face off in an arena. Each fighter has their own strengths and weaknesses, rated for Strength and Dexterity, and can be equipped with various weapons and armors to gain an advantage. With a playtime of just 15 minutes, Melee is the perfect game for a quick showdown, and its simple rules make it accessible to new players. As a game of adventure and fantasy, Melee combines elements of wargaming and simulation to create a thrilling experience. Players use dice rolling and grid movement to navigate the hex map and outmaneuver their opponent, with line of sight and movement points adding an extra layer of strategy. With its rich history and influence on later games, including the popular GURPS system, Melee is a must-play for fans of tabletop gaming. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just looking for a fun and fast-paced game, Melee is sure to deliver, and its compact design makes it easy to take on the go.
