This is a pretty broad question although I don't think you meant it that way.
First, Anyone can play Brikwars. There is no limitations set on who can and
cannot play.
Second (And I think the answer you are looking for), If it is a NELUG sponsored
game of Brikwars then yes you must be over 18 because part of the NELUG Charter
states that to be a member you must be over 18.
Please see our FAQ page for information as to why we are an Adults only group.

As a group we have had to defend this Membership restriction pretty vigorously.
We have discussed this at length at meetings and have even voted on the matter.
I won't say what the exact votes were or who voted but I will say that the vote
was heavily in favor of keeping this restriction and a majority of members at
the time voted.
This is our only restriction for membership and we intend to stand by it. I
know that makes us bad guys in some peoples eyes, especially in the eyes of
those under 18, but we created NELUG for a number of reasons and we do not
intend on changing our focus any time soon.

How about if someone has a 19-year-old cat or dog? Is being human a
restriction? ;-)

I would think that if they can build with LEGO and participate in meetings in
a mature fashion, they'd probably be eligible. :-)

Not offically no but if they had any kind of bladder control problems we might
have to have a ruleing :-).
Actually if we were counting would we count in Dog Years or Human Years?

I'd think that too -- but no .. to join a Brik War event, you've gotta be a
NELUG member. And to be a NELUG member, you've gotta be older then 18. So no
Brik War events for me for another 4 years :(

That's not true at all! You can always put together your own BrikWars game
with anyone you want- maybe even someone you won't have to go three states away
to game with. :D
We don't have a monopoly on the rules, we didn't even write 'em. We found them
on the web and decided to play.
If none of your friends have enough Lego to build up a big force, you can
always invite them over to build with your pieces. If they get hooked on the
game, they might even buy some of their own sets!

Yeah, yeah, as they say on the NELUG site, 'classmates.' I don't have any
other classmates, save one sibling, who hates Legos. 'Go play with your stupid
building bricks!'
There is a reason I'm on LUGNET so much ;)
