Reply To: A miniature game has to be a wargame?

There are sports miniatures games. So we habe Blood bowl for instance.  Dreadball, Elfball, Guildball etc do involve violence, but they aren’t “about” killing unless uou want them to be.  Gaslands is about racing rather than directly killing each other.   I also recall a game from someone about football hooliganism, and Subbuteo is a tabletop game without even any violence.

I guess there had to be some form of competition inherent in the situation being gamed that is interesting enough to be turned into a game, so warfare or combat provides that element in a more exciting wdy than many things.
