The cocktail version of Warlords is different from the upright version in that it supports up to 4 players and uses a 14-inch color raster-scan monitor with no backdrop or overlay.

The 2 upper castles always have the Crown/Black Knight images oriented in favor of any human players controlling those castles on the opposite side of the cabinet.

1- and 2-player games play identical to upright version, except that Warlords can occupy any of the four castles.

3- and 4-player games are free-for-alls; there is only one round, no point scoring, and the game ends as soon as only one castle remains.

TRIVIA

1,253 Cocktail units were produced (more than the Upright model).
