Malev Da Shinobi has launched his One Box Wargame Challenge in combination with Wargames Atlantic and you could take part! Inspired by the Cannon Fodder plastic set, Malev dived into designing a game using just one box of miniatures and from that, the challenge was given life!

The idea behind the One Box Wargame Challenge is that you take one single box, blister pack or digital STL pack and turn it into a wargame that can be played using just the miniatures from that set. The design must make use of the contents of that box and draw inspiration from them for the overall theme.

If this has already got your gears turning, you can check out Malev's video below where he talks through the process of bringing his game to life...

That should give you an idea of how your game could come to life. There's no real limit to your imagination here and considering what's included in the vast library of plastic miniatures from Wargames Atlantic and the Atlantic Digital collection, you've got no shortage of options for you to choose from as a starting point.

As mentioned in the details above, the box of miniatures doesn't have to come from Wargames Atlantic but they have a pretty solid selection of options for you to choose from. There's no reason you couldn't dive into your pile of potential and pick up a bunch of miniatures you've had sitting around for a while and make that focus of your wargame.

This already sounds like a great idea and hopefully, it will spawn some fun and interesting indie projects that people can get stuck into. I imagine that folks already have some fun ideas as to what they could create. Maybe this will inspire you to play around and try your hand at game design.
