2–2 players · 60 min · 8+
A Fistful of Tripods is a set of miniatures war game rules that cover the Marian invasion described by H. G. Wells in his novel "War of the Worlds".
Players can re-create the first "historical" Martian invasion of 1890's (which was an all out rout of the humans), or play one of several alternate scenarios from the 1920's through the 1990's.
The rules are based on the Fistful of TOWS miniatures rule set.
This description is paraphrased from the introductory section of the rulebook.
