Disk based gamesA relatively new collectable type of game is based on disk. The Disks represent soldiers (of various races / factions) that build up to an army. As usual the disks are sold blind and come in various rarity rates. Fun part is that the size of the disk is of major importance in the game. It's actually some kind of 'poor man's warhammer' (well not really, because in the end these disk are pretty expensive and show wear pretty fast). The fun part of this game is that the disks 'move' by flipping them over. As such 'large' disks have two basic difference over 'small' disks: when they move, they move fast per move and secondly: they cover more area (can easily attack a number of opponent or (worse) can get attacked by large number of opponents. Also, they are more vulnerable to long range weapons. The disks usually contain various characteristics like strength, speed, etc. tbd.
Most of these games come with various expensions. more info:

range wars:
The mechanics in RangeWars are a bit more interesting and varied than in
diskware, and the non-deterministic combat resolution adds to the replayability.
Range Wars is a fast-paced battle game set in the world of Deadlands and
based on the popular Doomtown card game. (based on the 'wild west' theme, 8
factions / outfits). Basic critic: every bloody disk has special abilities.
legend of
the
five rings
armada (based on space ships /
crew), uses the Startrek mechanics by FFG. Has both ship disks and crew disks.
The crews come in 4 different factions (standard game). Game comes with a
control pannel that helps with / indicates ships status.
