It's modeled on typical table top war games but my uncles actually developed all of the rules themselves. We set up a big sand pit, put up bases on either end, a neutral town with bridges in the middle, and set firecracker land mines under the sand prior to starting the game (without the opposing team being able to see). Then we use cards, dice, and moving sticks to shove our armies around until we capture the opponent's base. It's fun stuff, takes all day to set up, play, and tear down!
