Never Mind the Billhooks: Here’s the Ruckus, better known as Ruckus, is a Medieval skirmish game of narrative-heavy tabletop battles. It is inspired and influenced by Andy Callan’s ruleset, Never Mind the Billhooks (Billhooks), but while there are key similarities it is not a direct expansion to Andy’s Game.
Ruckus allows players to step into the shoes of a Captain and take charge of a small retinue of warriors, leading them through gritty, granular, tactically challenging, story-driven, and fun-laden skirmish encounters.
The Ruckus ruleset is as suited to quick pick-up games as it is to lengthy campaign clashes, and it features systems that ensure that no two games are the same. Character generation and advancement, along with scenario-driven gameplay, bring a treasure trove of gaming opportunities. The game prioritises having fun over simulating warfare or seeking period accuracy, but, should that be your cup of tea, you’ll find it easy to apply historical realism to your games, too.
Two forces of around 8 - 12 28mm figures are required for play, along with a handful of six-side dice, and tokens and cards - which can be downloaded from the wargames Illustrated website.
This 32-page magazine-style booklet is full colour throughout.
