Re: Magic: the Gathering Strategy Board Game
Yeah. I found that humorous. Another review from a 'scaper said it played fast, really fast. I would link that one but he uses rough language.

"Here's Cathy who's lived most everywhere
From Zanzibar to Berkely Square But Patty's only seen the sights A girl can see from Brooklyn Heights What a crazy pair! But they'r cousins Identical cousins And you'll find They laugh alike They walk alike At times they even talk alike You can lose your mind When cousins are two of a kind!" --Theme Song, The Patty Duke Show(1960s) Chas In Brooklyn Heights Last edited by chas; July 20th, 2015 at 12:02 PM. |

Re: Magic: the Gathering Strategy Board Game
My thoughts exactly. But perhaps it's good marketing to send review copies to people who dont normally play boardgames?

Re: Magic: the Gathering Strategy Board Game
Ironically enough, magic has amassed quite a rule-book if you actually want to know enough to win and understand the stack.

Having a background in M:tG actually made the game easier for me to understand and play. When situations arose that weren't covered by the rules, using M:tG logic was the default way for us to handle it. And it seemed to work. Which may be why the rules handling spell play is so minimal. It might assume prior knowledge. Which is bad. But I expect that we'll see a meatier rulebook covering such, as new spells/spell types (instants)/units are released. |

You know what would have been cooler than Magic the Gathering: Arena of the Planeswalkers? Heroscape: Arena of the Planeswalkers master set as a way to combine the two worlds in the same way they joined DnD and Heroscape. You'd at least have had several dozen diehard fans of the game, and Magic fans might have found it interesting. I might pick this up, I'm still on the fence, I think my money might be better spent on a game that I don't already have. |

I got the game today and within 45 minutes I had read the *new* rules set up the board and had already played a couple of games. I have to question the reviewers credibility if they couldn't even get through one game after three hours. And I find it laughable that they thought a 20 page rule book is long. I mean really? Smh |
