BrikWars is a miniatures wargame, which means that players pit miniature models of military units in simulated combat against each other. Much like chess, except a lot funnier.

Unlike more serious wargames, BrikWars is intended for battles between toys, and especially plastic building bricks and other construction toys. The BrikWars rules let players take turns moving toy troops and toy vehicles through toy terrain to attack one another with toy weapons and die horrifying toy deaths.

The game places no limits on what kinds of units and terrain can be constructed, or on what types of toys can be used, although the brick construction toys produced by The LEGO® Company are an overwhelming favorite.
