"Ten feet, twenty feet, thirty feet south. Passage turns east and west. Which way do you go?"
"We go South."
Stupefied look and momentary pause. "Okay. Bump, bump, bump."
-E. Gary Gygax to adventurers in Greyhawk Castle, circa 1972

WOW, I love the props! Its like Shogun (Samurai Sword), but in Medieval Europe and a better range of dice. I have always been a sucker for games the use plastic coins as resource points. Too bad the game cost an arm and a lag! (I hope they sell the parts separately?)
@ Mark Argent: Hmm maybe I'm onto something with that... I did in fact sit back and imagine a game of that sort. Loving to draw maps and design, maybe I'll give it a whirl for my next con play-test. I'll keep everyone posted.
@Malcadon: I downloaded the pdf rules and sample play and took a closer look at it. Really nice. Over 500 plastic pieces, so I for one do not feel that the price is extraordinary. Depends on how much play value one gets out of it in the long run, I suppose.
@Scottz: Thanks for the BGG link. I did do some scant reading there. It's nice to follow folks commenting in depth on it and I will be following those and other posts as they arise. I am more tempted to acquire the game after reading those posts. Sounds like a sure winner.
I am not a wargamer but I would buy the hell out of a game called "Werelords of the East Bronx."
ReplyDeleteIt was the map dimensions and the pic of the back cover art that had me drooling.
