So many people love this game, I had to buy it. Reading the rules, really excited me. Then I watched the Su&Sd review...and I often times I agree with them...so...now I'm nervous about introducing it.
Paul Beakley they went on in their usual style, and then did one of their buuuts. Lots of cards that do lots and lots of things until you have huge piles of cards, a map that looks like it should be key to the game but really there's nothing interesting going on there, and a game where everybody just stares at their board moving cubes to move more cubes to get other cubes which never feels like anything to do with Mars because in the end it's the usual pasted on theme of a euro-game.
I liked it. There's a lot of tactical depth, you can go several different ways to win. The cards are very evocative and fun to read. But yeah, it's a board game, lots of little bits that you move around, if that's not your thing you won't like it.
Your Beat 'em Ups! Give them to me! My daughter and I have played the hell out of X-Men on my PS3. I'm bored! She's not, she could blow up sentinels with Storm all day long. Are there other button-mashers out there that: -Have a playable female character (so Ninja Turtles are out) -Available on PS3 -Multiplayer I'm aware Dungeons & Dragons: Shadows of Mystara comes out in June. Can't wait. But until then, I need something new since I can't listen to "Nothing stops the Blob!" again.
Rating the Marvel villains so far on a scale from Excelsior (good), to No-Prize (could be explained that they’re either good or bad), to Bullpen Floor (bad): Iron Monger: Excelsior Abomination: No-Prize Loki: Excelsior Red Skull: Excelsior Whiplash: Bullpen Floor Justin Hammer: Excelsior Loki again: Excelsior Mandarin: Excelsior Dark Elf what’s-his-name: Bullpen floor Hydra Conspiracy: Excelsior Ronan: Bullpen Floor Nebula: Excelsior Ultron: No-Prize Did I miss anyone?
I liked it a lot, let me know how it goes

ReplyDeleteRalph Mazza it's really good. What did SU&SD have to say?
ReplyDeleteI usually agree with them as well but I can also tell when they've crawled all the way into their own heads.
I liked it. I was the UN and farmed terraforming points.

ReplyDeleteNah. That's not really how it plays.
