Battalion: War Of The Ancients Review
Battalion is a game which masquerades as a wargame, has all the theme and trappings of a war game, but plays more like an asymmetric dueling card game.
Competitive games with high interaction
Battalion is a game which masquerades as a wargame, has all the theme and trappings of a war game, but plays more like an asymmetric dueling card game.
The struggle between nature and progress is delivered beautifully in the best two-player board game I’ve played in a long time.
Did you know there are only a few mammals in the world that lay eggs. They’re called monotremes. One member of the monotreme family is the short-beaked echidna. Orbit is a game about tourists in space.
Sakana Stack is quick, easy, gorgeous to look at, and a lot of fun. It’ll join the likes of Scout and Tokkuri Taking in my convention bag for some time to come.
Is Arcs the best game ever? No. Is it a chaotic, unbalanced mess? No, it’s not that either. Arcs is a superb game which comes with a few caveats to get the most from it.
So far, so easy, you might think, and you’d be right. However, there are a couple of pretty big spanners you can throw into the mix, but your choice of spanners and when you want to toss them in depends on your ability to predict the future.
It’s not Super Long Nose Goblin for the PC Engine, it’s dinosaurs drinking sake in Tokkuri Taking, and it’s a lot of fun.
When you’re constantly being namechecked in the same sentence as BGG’s number one game of all time, you’re doing something right.
The spreading tendrils of your empires eventually intertwine, and that’s where the interaction begins. The interaction is what drives Eclipse and makes it as much fun as it is.
If you think games like Isle of Cats, A Feast For Odin, or even Barenpark are tricky tile-placement puzzles, then you ain’t seen nothing yet. Horseless Carriage is a harsh, unforgiving mistress.
