fightfive
In this innovative reimagining of the classic game War, players clash against their opponents across five stacks—no matter the player count!
From the minds of Aaron Hein and Manny Trembley, Fight Five is an elemental tug-of-war for 2-5 players. In each of the five rounds, players will draw five cards and challenge their opponents for control of five different stacks. Win the clash and take the cards for endgame scoring! Did you tie? Then that stack only grows bigger (and more valuable) for the next clash.
Clever play across all five stacks will win the day, and watch out for Star Clash Cards that will beat out all other cards!
Be the first to 200 points, or have the most points after three bouts of five rounds.

Card Reference
- Number Cards (2–13): Used to meet or exceed the value of the active Clash Card.

- Among eligible players, the highest card wins.
- The winner takes the Clash Card and all player cards played this round into their Point Pile.
- Ties & Misses:
- If no one meets the Clash Card value or the highest cards played are tied, there is no winner.
