Each player controls a cloned clan of lemmings that have been specially trained to compete with the other lemming clans, all trying to scurry down a canyon and hurl themselves over a cliff. Distance and style points are important. One lemming diving with style and élan is worth as many as five of the more mundane divers. But beware the hungry eagles circling overhead or your lemmings might not even make the cliff edge!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObjective: The player with the most victory points wins the game. To earn victory points, players dive their lemmings over the cliff edge and\/or collect Lemming Chow Pellets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game board is a hex-based map representing the canyon down which up to six separate lemming clans will travel. The canyon ends with the cliff edge hexes, which are the lemmings' ultimate goal. Between the lemmings and their goal there are two eagles circling overhead hoping for multiple lemming snacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach turn a movement card is revealed which will allow for 2-5 lemming movement points. Card luck is mitigated in that all players use the same card to move that turn. Only the top lemming in each stack is allowed to move, so covering your opponents' lemmings is one tactic that is used to slow them down. The down side is that the top lemming in each stack is the only one in danger of becoming eagle chow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecial Actions allow players to briefly alter the normal rules of the game to their advantage or to their opponents' detriment.

You command the division and brigade level units using the historical orders of battle. You order your forces to key points, and decide how and when to order extra Assets to bolster them. Note that there are never enough of these Assets to give to all the units begging for them, so you need to weigh your decisions carefully.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFAB delivers a new blend of units and decisions to the block game genre: your forces are a mixture of wooden blocks and die-cut counters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Blocks: your divisions and brigades are multi-step wooden blocks with printed labels on one side only, with step-losses represented by rotating the blocks. FAB has a new twist on the units in that the pips on the edges of the blocks are color coded to represent troop quality, which can change as a Division suffers losses. Elite Units can lose their edge and become Veteran, while Green Units can harden and become Veteran as they experience the strains of combat. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Counters: Die-cut counters represent (1) additional Assets available to you as the Field Commander and (2) major Events that could have or did occur during the battle. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Assets represent engineers, army level artillery, independent armor and infantry regiments\/battalions, and other small units that can be temporarily assigned to the battles that you deem important to your strategy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Randomly drawn Events provide divisional replacements, air strikes, interdiction teams, parachute drops, and events unique to each battle in the Series.
