The NEW New Boardgames Thread

[Delirium]

It is intriguing, I agree, some guys I know have played both and were unimpressed...one complaint I hear about TK is that is extremely punishing on a player who does not know all the possible card combinations beforehand and how to implement a strategy based on your choices. I still think such a game works if both players are equally ignorant and have to make it up as they go along but I can see how it is tough on a newbie against a reasonably experienced player.

Interesting.

I got two games today:

Tornio '44, because many of my ancestors lived in that area and it rarely features in games.

Nice, I've seen it played although the boys did not seem too impressed...I held a copy in my hand at SF-bokhandeln and wanted to support Mikugames, but in the end walked away, I partly regret it. I hope to be able to try a part of the Finnish Trilogy one day.

Gathering Storm, for completeness, I played Advanced Third Reich in the 90s and I own both editions of A World At War.

Ugh, like you I enjoyed the heck out of A3R, but AWAW is just toooooo much.

If I ever play a grand strategy WW2 game again I think I'll probably try Totaler Krieg. Dai Senso intrigues me.

We did a TK game, I really enjoyed it.

If you like games of deception and bluffing, then Secret Hitler looks great fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k69PbHoSWm4

Been Reading a lot of The Mutant Epoch stuff. I like the Palladiumesque "let's describe everything" approach. I note that the author is REALLY into sex slaves and prostitutes.

Speaking of Third Reich, this past weekend I had lunch with the guys I used to play it with during high school, and we're going to have another go at it for old times' sake.

Purchased Warhammer Quest Card Game the other day. It plays like a lightweight version of both LOTR LCG and Pathfinder CG. We're digging it so far, much easier to get to the table than the two other games, even if it doesn't have their depth.

Hey, it's a late antiquity game of some complexity. That's enough for me.

Honestly, the differences that the game will be making for the system might make it work, a la Fire in the Lake.  I just haven't particularly cared for most of the games in the series and am pretty ambivalent about it being stretched to cover a much older period.

The map/playtest pieces does look pretty awesome, though:

It really does. Apart from A Distant Plain I haven't had any particular interest in the series, and in the end I didn't pull the trigger on that one. 
This one I'll preorder, though. Looks like it made the cut in two days, that's a good sign.

"The Wall"? Thank you, GRRM.
