📖 About This Game
What Ho! is a skirmish game of non-violent conflicts. It is set in the drawing rooms, ballrooms, village lanes and cottage gardens of a rural England of a past age. Players will involve themselves in the farces of P.G. Wodehouse or investigations of Agatha Christie. Unlike many skirmish games which begin with many uninteresting choices and end with a few interesting ones as the game crystallises but combatants are removed in What Ho! breadth of choice remains as their impact comes into view.
Players move miniatures around a playing surface of their choice, gaining plotlines by building up hidden dice and then attempt to complete actions to achieve their plotline objectives. What Ho! is a non-violent miniatures skirmish game based on movement and miniature placement.
