I am curious if anyone knows any miniatures systems that were specifically designed for more than two players at once, opposed to just grafting on three plus players variant rules onto a two player game.

I'd like some recommendations from the community. Thank you.

Mobile Frame Zero, the LEGO mecha fighting game, is designed around 3-5 players, and really works the best with at least 4. That's the only one I've got at the moment. I'm sure there's lots out there though.

Not really what you're looking for, but 2v2 Epic X-Wing is probably my favorite miniatures based Star Wars experience.

A lot of board games that have miniatures of course, but that doesn't sound like hat you're after.

I don't know about specifically designed for, but I can confirm that.bolt action and x wing both work really well as multilayer games, with no modifications to the core rules.

Wolsung.

Works great for 2+ players, low model count, simple rules.

Seriously fun game.

The Hail Caesar - Black Powder line of rules for work well with a large amount of players.

Gore chosen? Silver tower? They're minis games, designed for a party.

You might try TechCommander it encourages only one or two units per player and has a deathmatch mode of play which closely resembles video game play as a free for all.

I think Black Powder actually plays better with 4 (2 teams of 2) or 6 (2 teams of 3) players than it does just with 2. A friend of mine really only wants to play it with a minimum of 3 players where he is on the side with the team vs. the single player. However, I won't go as fair as saying it was specifically designed for more than two players. Although, the designers never seemed to play it that way in the battle reports/sample games either.
