deadwing34 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 I can bring it down to the clubhouse on a Tuesday, once I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadwing34 Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Ok my copy arrived today. I should be getting it to the table either tonight or tomorrow for my first game. I may be able to bring it down to the clubhouse on Tuesday if people are interested, it can play up to 5p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadwing34 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I played a 4p game on Saturday and it was a lot of fun (my GF even liked it), just constant action and battles. Turns are very quick, which is a plus. We decided to not do drafting for cards for the whole game. I think to get the proper game balance it is a good idea to do drafting. Everyone was commenting on the quality of the miniatures. I can easily say these are the highest quality miniatures I have ever seen in a board game, especially ones without any assembly required. Cant wait to get it to the table again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadwing34 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I still do not have a tracking number. I am really glad to finally have a copy of the game in my hands and that it is a good game. But I am not a fan of how they handled shipping them out.

mightyatom13 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I have about 6 games under my belt so far. I really enjoy this game. lot of fun to play, but not as deep as it first seemed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadwing34 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I have played it 3 times now. It is not very good as a 2p game. The other 2 times I played it I played it 4p. I think you really need to draft every age, when we played our first game everyone just got a random hand of cards and I think that did not help keeps things balanced and fair. I really like how quick it plays but I think I would like just a bit more depth as well. Overall not my favorite game in my collection but I am glad I backed it, the miniatures are amazing.

mightyatom13 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 It was my understanding (and how we played it) that you do draft every age. I have played 4 games with 3 players and 2 games with 4. i imagine it will hit the table at least once an evening for the next few game nights, but will probably move to the back of the line once Scythe arrives.

deadwing34 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 In the rule book they suggest for your very first game that you don't draft in the first age and just keep the cards you are dealt. We ended up just playing that way the whole game and I think that made for an unbalanced first play though. Yes bring on the Scythe, I backed that one on Kickstarter as well, but a longs ways off. Seems to be a bit more depth in that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagna Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Is this a game you guys are still playing or has it fallen flat? I know it had a ton of buzz for a while but seems to have gone quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I received my kickstarter box late…and have yet to play - but mostly because my free time has been not much for the past 3-4 months lol. it looks fun - -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkieft Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I got mine late too. Got in one game a couple weeks ago... I really like it and need to play more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadwing34 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I have played it 4 times and overall I like it, but its not quite as good as I would have hoped. Its not very good as a 2p game. I am going to run a full 6p game and see how that turns out at Gamestorm this year, I have an event set up for that.

Duckman Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Do tell, deadwing! When are you planning to run it? I'll try to make sure I find it and get signed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to run a full 6p game and see how that turns out at Gamestorm this year, I have an event set up for that. Doesn't it only go to 5 players? There are 6 Clans, but one of the Clan expansions does not only adds a clan, not another player. Our first game was 5 players and other than a rules screw up it went pretty well. Oh yeah and 2 player seems really lame. Wondering how it works with three? Often games that go two to whatever are more "Yeah sure, the mechanics still work with two players" than "Is a fun game at two players". BloodRage really screamed that to me.

Its event number 2161 but I just checked and it is all full now. I am also running an Eclipse event too number 2162 but that one is now full too. Sorry guys, if you are going to gamestorm maybe we can hook up and play something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep it does only go up to 6p officially but looking on board game geek an easy way to modify the rules is to just deal out only 7 cards per player instead of 8. You already get extra cards if you participated in the kickstarter and if you got the 5p expansion. I don't see how it would not play great with 6p.

As is, each player under 5 blocks a space, but adding player 6 will not add any space. While the game will mechanically work, I wonder is some strategies might suffer due to over crowding.

Yep that's true but the center space can have unlimited figures and there are constant warriors being sent to their death as well. Also no territories would be destroyed at the beginning of the game naturally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but in 5 players you also have no areas destroyed, so basically you are squeezing the 6th player onto the 5 player board. Honestly though, I am not trying to discourage you from give it a go, but that was my concern looking at it. I am definitely interested in hearing how it goes. Let us know.
