looking for something new to play

[Codsticker]

In the mood to try something new. I am looking for a game that has 3-5 figures per side.
Any period or genre. What would you recommend?

If you are looking specifically for a rules and game in one box the two off the top of my head are Aristeia! (link) which is a Sci Fi arena combat game, and 1-48 Tactic (link) which is a WW2 skirmish game using a section of 1/48 scale models per side.

Have you looked into the ShadeSpire games by GW? It's a board game/miniatures game mash up. I believe the starter box comes with a 3 figure faction and an opposing 5 figure faction. Factions expansions can also be purchased and in general fit in with your 3-5 figure a side requirement.

Rogue Stars might also fit what you are looking for. It's a rules set that fits low figure count games. The old Inquisition game by GW (figures were 40mm in scale) is also a very low figure count game.

Finally, Rangers of Shadow Deep might fit with what your looking for. Low model count and can be played either solo or as a cooperative game.

Codsticker, Davout,

Thanks guys. That was the kinds of game stuff I was requesting.
few figures per side no more than 5-7 with rules.
Any other suggestions, keep them coming!

The Fistful of Lead stable of rules would suit you I think. Multi-genre and very cinematic with a minimal figure count. There are various supplements for different genres as well

+1 Pulp Alley for just about anything.
Numerous videos on You Tube to watch to ease into it.

Any of the Nordic Weasel Five Core games would work.

"Five leagues from the Borderlands", low magic fantasy, I really enjoy (1st edition, I haven't played 2nd), and it uses 4-8 figures a side.
"Five Parsecs from Home", is sci-fi and uses the same low figure count. One of it's brethren, "Salvage Crew" or "Bug Hunt" are the same but with differing focus on the campaign parts.
There's quite a few, but those are the ones I've played personally.

"The Department", Four-Color Studios, is also a low figure count game that I really enjoy playing.

Jugula - 4 gladiators a side. Terrific game, although it is more a deck building game with gladiators than a simulation.

[MartinD]

.45 Adventure and Gloire (Pulp and 17th C) are designed for very few figures each side.

That newish Crusades skirmish set by Osprey.

En Garde (Osprey)

Just off the top of my head.

Maybe Deadzone 2nd edition from Mantic - minis, scenery, playmat, rules and dice all in the box. 

Or on the same tack even Dreadball 2nd edition, again all in the box.

Fun games, too.

Relicblade is a brilliant fantasy skirmish game, 3 or 4 models a side

(looking at my shelves )

Wildlands (not actually played it yet, but fits the criteria)
Ninja All Stars (really enjoyable and surprisingly cheap)
Speed Freeks (I guess Gaslands but all in one box)
Firefly Brigands & Browncoats (again not played it yet)
MTG Arena of the Planeswalkers (far better than it should be )
Rail Raiders Infinity (love this, don't believe the grumps who got the short end of the kickstarter stick)

With a few more models (I think less than 10 still) which are two of my favourites
Mars Attacks
Test of Honour

[Mammoth miniatures]

It'd be silly of me not to suggest planet 28 - it's a Sci fi system for small narrative games, between 2&10 minis a side, with a solo expansion adding rules for single character warbands. It's also free from wargames vault

 Another thumbs up for Relicblade.

Great ideas everyone. Thanks I am looking into these and seeing what
catches my interested.
