Looking for Tavern Brawl rules
« on: March 10, 2021, 09:47:44 AM »
Hello!
Does anyone know of any tavern brawl/bar brawl rules for miniature games?
I have only found some orc bar brawl rules in White Dwarf 223, but there must be other rulesets out there!

Kind regards Lau

Years ago I saw a review in one of the wargames mags. It was for a game called Saki & Samurai.
Sounded great fun, so I thought I would get a copy. Went to the local games club, nice people
who tried (in vain) over three years to get it for me. Including seeking out the publisher's trade
stand at a convention, 'Very popular that game. No I didn't bring any copies.'
There is also another version of the game called Axes & Ales, which is also a pub brawl, but for Vikings.
Good luck & if anyone knows how to get a copy, of either, let me know

Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.

Imbrian Arts did a game Beer and D6s along with some nice drunk minis... Their sites seem to have finally disappeared into the ether though, but someone might still have a copy floating around.

Is this the one?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Albe-Pavo-Card-Game-Sake-Samurai-NIP-/224260762462?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

Yes, but the cost plus postage to this side of the pond is too much for me.
The game sounds good fun & worthy of painting up figures for.
First part= Characters are in a pub. The honour of keeping up with every body's drinking
                 and buying your round will lead to drunkenness & sell off equipment to pay for drinks.
When first part ends the least drunk player is dishonoured & commits  Hara Kiri. Still in the
 game, but as a ghost.
Last part of the game= Tavern brawl, only characters are at various levels of inebriation and
                                   probably missing a sword, helmet etc (Sold for drinks).

I bought my copy of "Sake and Samurai" some years ago at the Boardgamegeek Marketplace, maybe worth checking ;)

If you're talking/understanding german, then that old roleplay magazin could be something for you:
https://www.ebay.de/itm/Zauberzeit-28/174521468892?hash=item28a24a47dc:g:iy0AAOSw7yxfsqju

It includes a game called "Bugfols Bar Room Brawl" aka "Bugfols Bildersturm".
But, as said before, it's in german.

Osprey's Fistful of Kung Fu would be perfect for a bar-room brawl in pretty much any setting or genre. It's got lots of interaction with scenery, including spillages and pools of blood.

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions!

I'll sum up my thoughts here! All comments still very welcome :-D

- Saki & Samurai: Looks more like a card game? having read the review at BGG, it does not seem like it needs miniatures?
- Beer and D6s: sounds really good! A shame it is totally gone. I couldn't find the rules either.
- Bugfols Bar Room Brawl: my german is not good enough, but my regular opponent is from Southern Denmark, he might be reading german - will check it put!
- Swashbuckler: sounds good! Got my hands on a scan, really interesting, this I totallt might play! interesting to see if a 40 year old game still i viable :-D
- Eureka - sounds good! really interesting mechanics! will try it out!
- Fistful of Kung Fu. Interesting and easy to get a hold of! I will propaply get it next time i order from osprey

Thanks a lot for all your help!
