The Battle Line Board Game is a two-player card game built around the theme of warfare during the age of Alexander the Great.
Battle Line features 60 full-colour cards depicting the prominent formations of the period (War Elephants, Heavy Cavalry, Phalanx, etc.) and 10 full-colour tactics ‘wildcards’ that give players extra flexibility and choices and help make each new battle wildly different from the last.
Battle Line takes about 30 minutes to play. To win, you must create powerful formations along your side of the line of battle that are superior to those of your enemy. Victory goes to the player who wins 5 of the 9 battle flags (an envelopment) or three adjacent flags (a breakthrough). Based on Reiner Knizia’s original design published in Germany as Shotten-Totten, Battle Line enhances and expands that game system to give players even more tactical options and gut-wrenching decisions.
How will you muster your battle line? Will you use your elephants to trample a hole in the enemy front, or send Alexander to the front to win a critical flag? Maybe you’ll dispatch the Companion cavalry to lead or reinforce a crucial point in the line, or perhaps you’ll rely on your spies to determine the enemy’s strengths and weaknesses before committing your best forces. You’ll always have plenty of choices. With every card play, you’ll determine the strength and direction of your attack while plotting to fend off your enemy’s advances.
In Battle Line, you and your opponent lead the combined arms of the greatest units of the era. Will you, like Alexander, reign supreme? Play Battle Line, and find out.

Really excellent selection of games. A warhammer section at the front with pain T s and books ect. Then a board/card game area out thr back. As well as some fun little items(Escape room greeting cards!? Love it!!)The staff are very helpful but also give you your space so you can browse peacefully.
Ordered from MtM a number of times - always been a great service! Love that they have a great stock of metal gaming coins as they're hard to find elsewhere. One of my go-to online shops for gaming stuff.
Ordered a bunch online through their website and they shipped it out in now time! Got my package 3 days later.Great discounts and variety as well, just wish I was closer so I could actually visit the place 😫100% will be buying from them again
I do not know what a Meeple is, but it is safe to say these folks are more than Meeples, lol...ordered some out of print board games from them for shipping to the USA, and they had no problems fulfilling it in a timely fashion! Still waiting for it to arrive (as expected), but not imagining there's much more they can do at this point to make the experience any better than the great level it's been so far! Thanks again :D
ordered twice from MTM website. never had any issues. fast delivery.would highly recommend, along with gameology and thegamesmen. these are my go to websites for gaming stuff.
Huge selection of board games, even old ones that are out of print. Lots of expansions for games, and very good prices. I spent 40 mins just looking through all their board games. Well worth a visit.
Easy to order and arrived fast! They were nice enough to upgrade my shipping to express free of charge! Great start to the year. Will definitely be buying from them again.
I received the best service from this excellent shop. I purchased Mah Jongg card game online. My order was processed quickly and I was kept up-to-date of my order's progress. I received my order on time and in perfect condition. Thank you for your professional and efficient service.
Friendly staff and a huge range of games in easy to browse shelving, alphabetical with kickstarter, party games and such in their own separate sections. Will visit again definitely
Amazing service. I came in not knowing what to get for my friend as a Christmas present. The staff were very helpful and gave me a list of top board games to choose from. Thanks for all the help!
MTM is the best! I have made 3 purchases with them this year (some marvel and dc omnibus’) and have only had pleasant experiences with them.As an omnibus collector i can also say they have some of the best prices for these kinds of books.I have bought from places like Amazon previously and have received already damaged books (labelled as brand new) - although this type of thing is common, ive never had an experience like this when shopping with More Than Meeples and i will continue to shop with them.
I had a great experience ordering through Amazon. More Than Meeples provided wonderful customer service, I am very impressed and would happily order again. Thank you so much!
More than Meeples are my all time favourite board game store. Whether you are looking to buy board games online or in store they are ready to help. Recently Siegmund helped me learn the ropes to Lorcana the new Disney card game when I showed I was interested. Coming up to Christmas I will definitely be shopping again! :)
I have been a loyal customer for quite some time now and every experience has been exceptional! The staff here are always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They make you feel right at home and go above and beyond to help you find the perfect game. Whether I had questions about a game’s complexity or needed recommendations, their professionalism and knowledge made the process easy and enjoyable.The variety of board games they offer is impressive, with something for every type of player, from beginners to seasoned gamers. Every visit has been a pleasure, thanks to the warm, helpful, and dedicated team at More Than Meeples. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to expand their game collection, or simply find a fun new challenge.Thank you for the consistently excellent service—I can’t wait to visit again!
Really great choice. Have ordered from them multiple times. Games arrived in good condition and on time. Good pricing and variety. Good range of kick starters and more variety of great games. Really enjoy their selection! Thanks and cheers!
This is my new pick for Brisbane's best game store. good amount of stock and caters to niche interests. has a bit more than your vanilla gamesters. be prepared to have a difficult time finding the place though, be sure to get there than give the friendly staff a call for directions. this place is worth discovering
Great to purchase from a family owned game store, great communication and extra care given to packaging with recyclable packaging materials 100% will buy from again
I was looking for a Pokemon figurine to decorate my car. Most places I searched have it but shipping prices are expensive, even ones from Japan. I accidentally stumbled onto More Than Meeples. Guess what: they have the figurine I want at a cheap price (with discounts too), with affordable shipping price, and from Queensland?! I immediately purchase from them.Even when my package arrived, they did it with utmost care by bubble wrapping it. I did not expect it but I'm satisfied they did it.Thank you so much for my purchase. I'm so glad to find many Pokemon figurines I can buy in Australia and supporting local pop culture shops. :))
Ordering from the US here so of course shipping was expensive, but the game itself is so hard to find anywhere else in the world and they had it the cheapest! Super easy to checkout and find everything, gave me consistent email updates, and overall great experience for a place I had never heard of before. Would recommend!
I have made several purchases of omnibuses from Meeples.The packaging is exceptionally well done, ensuring the safe arrival of your books. The shipping and order confirmation processes are also excellent. My absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore arrived today, ahead of schedule! I will continue to make purchases from them.
A fairly obscure game I wanted was not just in stock, but on special, and the postal charge was cheap too, considering the size of the item. It was sent out very promptly and arrived on time and in perfect condition. I wish all my online games shopping experiences could be this good.
Discovered this great store from the Board Game BBQ podcast. So, as soon as I had some new games to grab, I wanted to support the store that supports one of the podcasts I enjoy.Very prompt service and packaged well. Everything arrived safely over the interstate trip. Thanks for being helping the Australian board game community grow!
Great Range, great prices and quick deliveries with items well packed for shipment. Would recommend online purchases through these guys any day. I am happier than a 3 legged man in a butt-kicking contest.
Quick and easy click and collect. Great price for what I bought. Pleasantly surprised by the ease of parking (was initially a bit hesitant about this). The (paper) carry bag was very nice too!
Found More than Meeples from the Boardgame BBQ podcast and PlayCon info. Super surprised with the range of games and pricing. Online order was simple and processing was as advertised. Ordered games I can't find closer to me and stoked to support a crew that supports the game community.
I must say - really really impressed with the packaging for online delivery. So neat with bubble wraps and other stuff inside to prevent damage. Games arrived in perfect condition. Highly recommend
Made an order, very good prices and delivered from AUS to GB in ~3 days - I also wanted to add something to the order before it was shipped and they were really accomodating and quick to reply (despite the timezone difference)Kudos to Siegmund who helped me with my order :)
Customer service was excellent. They assisted me right away with the error and emailed me to let me know it was all fixed.Thank you to the team at More than Meeples. My package arrived within the specified time. 😊
Preordered a large kickstarter that ran into recurring delays. Aside that aspect (waited almost a year extra) which is out of their control, I’m very satisfied with my order, now that it’s received. Delivery was swift and painless once it got dispatched. Maybe I’ll steer away from preorders for a while, and order only what’s available upfront.
