📖 About This Game

Originally self published by Mike Hayes in 1974 as "The Warlord". This edition came in a red box. An area-control game of domination similar to Risk, The Warlord allowed a player to use armies and A-Bombs to beat all other opponents to win the game. The Red box version had large un-laminated mapboards. Advertised in 'Games & Puzzles' magazine.
