## Description
Pocket Battles: Elves vs. Orcs is a portable war game that fits in your pocket and is perfect for quick, strategic battles. Each player commands an army of elves or orcs, represented by tiles that form units. The goal is to eliminate at least half of the opponent's army value. Battles take place in three sectors, and each unit has specific abilities, such as melee or ranged attacks. Additionally, some tiles have special traits that can affect the entire unit or army. The dice rolling mechanic determines attacks, and secret unit deployment adds an element of surprise. The game is easy to learn but offers strategic depth, especially in choosing how and when to move units. The Pocket Battles series allows you to mix armies from different games, creating unique combinations like elves vs. Romans or orcs with Celts. Ideal for a quick game when time and space are limited.
