Grind (board game)
Grind is a board game by Privateer Press. It is the first of their board games to be based on Warmachine. It is a steam-punk game where the players control teams of 5 machines called warjacks and pit them against each other to force a huge spiked ball called the grinder into their opponents goal pit.
The box contains 10 warjacks, 5 red and 5 blue, each team has 2 heavy warjacks (crushers) and 3 light warjacks (runners), it also contains a full-size board, 24 specialty dice, 12 tokens, 2 pillars and the grinder
Gameplay is fast-paced and tactical, with the player moving their warjacks, attacking other warjacks and the grinder, and blocking other warjacks while trying to keep the other team from getting near their goal zone.
There are no numbered dice (d6) used in the game because the whole system works around strikes, there are 3 different types of dice, white action dice, blue boost dice and red power dice, the power dice have the highest chance of hitting, while action dice have the lowest. All of the dice have a 1-in-6 chance of rolling a super strike which is worth 2 strikes.
