Chaos Marauders is a card-based board game for 2-4 players designed by Stephen Hand, illustrated by John Blanche and was published by Games Workshop in 1987.
The object of the game is to create "battle lines" of orcs and a motley assortment of creatures from the Warhammer universe, including skaven (with their formidable Horned Rat Standard, and "Clan Skyrre Blowback" flamethrower), goblins, dwarf captives, hobgoblins, "crummy snotling slaves", an Orc War Wyvern and the eponymous Chaos Marauders.
The game is notable for its similarity to the 1977 boardgame Ogallala de:Ogallala (Spiel).

Famous quotes containing the words chaos and/or marauders:
“Before abstraction everything is one, but one like chaos; after abstraction everything is united again, but this union is a free binding of autonomous, self-determined beings. Out of a mob a society has developed, chaos has been transformed into a manifold world.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
“When all this is over, you know what I’m going to do? I’m gonna get married, gonna have about six kids. I’ll line ‘em up against the wall and tell them what it was like here in Burma. If they don’t cry, I’ll beat the hell out of ‘em.”
—Samuel Fuller, U.S. screenwriter, and Milton Sperling. Samuel Fuller. Barney, Merrill’s Marauders (1962)
