I found my antique copy of Chainmail a few days ago. I think I picked it up around 1980 or so!! |

It's not bad, though I wish there was more nuance to the Chainmail rules. Still, it does a decent job of jousting head to head. My only real complaint is my young son used to beat me all the time when we used them. |

I keep waiting for Skull and Crown to publish or post the Breaking Lances rules. He had mentioned a Kickstarter a couple times for a whole package of figures and rules. But that seems to be on hold. |

This is one of those surveys where a vast majority of the responses were not in favour of any of the listed options. Only 9 people voted for the top ranking answer and the equal 3rd choices only had 2 respondents each. Which raises the question, are there other good jousting rules out there? |

It's probably not complex enough for a good stand alone game. Really it's a sideshow for a role-playing campaign. |
