The NEW New Boardgames Thread

[CountDeMoney]

Hell, I always read the Designer's Notes.  Usually that's where they'd put their reasoning behind certain rules, fucked up or otherwise.

You know I'm trafficking in the truth, 11B.  You were up to your ass in those squares, too.

What you speak is Truth.

Berkut;
Fateful Lightning
TSS
This Hallowed Ground

I don't know anything about Fateful Lightning, but the latter two do not qualify as playable, in my book. They are both monster games.

THG sure was pretty though.

This Hallowed Ground

Isn't that just the older version of the new game?

Different strokes for different folks. Depends on the rules overhead which seems to be declining. IMO the trend that seems to be going with the newer "monster games" is stream lined rules unlike the heady days of SPI.....

Compare GDW's Crusader to grogsims Crusader

SPI's TSS (Great Battles system)  to Last Chance's (Lob system)

I don't recognize that;  is Ed rubbing GDW's "Third World War" series in our faces again?

New one coming from Decision for one of their quadrillion magazines.

And yes, if I still owned those GDW games, I'd post a picture a day of the boxes.

Ass.

Why do people get rid of games? I haven't sold a game in my life.

Been looking for a decent priced copy for a while now.
