It seems the Quar have always been at war. When the first wandering clans of insect gatherers built their low, mud-walled buildings, it was as much to keep out other Quar as the wild animals. As they first learned to make tools to get food, they quickly learned to make tools to defend themselves. The mud walls quickly became fortified citadels, and then city-states. In five thousand years of civilization, the only constants of their culture have been the changing of the seasons and the threat of war.
Quar are just like you and me - perfectly normal creatures, bereft of magic or supernatural powers or other-worldly technologies. They do eat bugs, though, and lots of them. Most quar, when they’re not fighting each other over slights real or imagined, are farmers, or traders, or merchants. Mostly they live simple, happy lives full of hard work, ale and the occasional overeating of mothcakes.
But there are other quar - ambitious, striving quar - for which a mere warm bed and full belly are not enough. These are the ones that scheme, that connive, and their machinations bring whole nations and kingdoms into conflict. Constant conflict, brutal conflict, for the history of Alwyd is written in blood.
The Long War is entering a new phase. Gather your weapons, choose your side, and prepare to begin your chapter in the history of this grand conflict.
This is a two-player game that features 24 hard plastic Quar (12 Crusaders and 12 Coftyrans), 24 hard plastic dual-use bases, 10 activation cards, 6 D6 dice, and a 48 page rulebook. There is also a selection of cut-out terrain on the box sides to help bring your battlefield to life!

I love these little guys. The game is awesome, the miniatures are a delight to assemble and paint and the team at Wargames Atlantic are fantastic.

Love the Quar
The Clash of Ryfles box is excellent. The models are all incredibly charming and easy to assemble with little to no cleanup. I like the included dice and the Art work on box, cards, and within the Rhyfler's pocket book is amazing. I also enjoy the included bases. The ability to quickly build up my forces and play is a huge bonus to me when buying any new game.
My one suggestion would be that I'd like to see enough bedrolls to equip all my crusaders, much like the Coftyrans have.

Fun world and fun to build
The models are easy and fun to build, and the lore is rich, even for a 45 page book that is both the role and the rule book. The artstyle is really nice, being a mix of a Smurfs like children's book world and world war 1 technology. The little fellas look both cute and realistic both in art and model form (though the 3d reders are a bit of a miss for me :p). Over all, it's cute and you can get lost in it's relatively smal but entertaining world. BUY MORE LITTLE GUYS!

Fun little game
I had a lot of fun building the minis that come with the box, but because this game isn't as well known as something like Warhammer the rules are a little hard to understand at first, but once playing the game is really fun,
