There is one. It's called Kill the King. We've played it a couple times at our Louisville tourney. The TD will list a point total that the hero has to be (such as 120 points, at the last one we did) and you have one hero set to be the King that has to be killed on your side for your opponent to kill. The first one to do so wins the game!

So good to see you here again, Rev!

I think it's important we take this game as what it is. It is not Heroscape. Tom calls it Heroscape 2.0, but it's a different animal.

There is card play, there are squads but no uniques, except the summoner, and the game focuses on eliminating the summoner/planeswalker.

Even though I've jokingly called it MagicScape, this game is not meant to be Heroscape, but it uses core aspects of Heroscape to create another excellent CVN release. Interestingly enough, it also captures some of the best things in Summoner Wars, Magic, Dungeon Command, etc.

This is a new thing. A really cool, Heroscape-related, new thing. I'm excited for it, as I said, and I trust CVN to dial it in well and give us something really strong.

As has already been said in this thread, if you enjoy Heroscape, the best answer is to play Heroscape. If you want something new, check out the remarkable custom work being done here at Scapers. Heroscape is still excellent and it's as alive as your playing habits allow it to be.

This is something else that looks exciting (and that I'm sure we'll use to create some more great customs for Scape from), but that on its own is worthwhile and exciting.

Re: Magic: the Gathering Strategy Board Game (Looks HeroScap

Very good points 1Mmirg. However it's hard not to look at this as Heroscape 2.0 because it's so very close. The terrian, the dice, the way the cards are laid out, the very essence of scape. This is a game labeled Magic, but it is very much run on the heroscape game engine.

I just hope that they will throw us a bone and give us a PDF of the units for heroscape. Like buy the game and we give you a code or something.

73 tournaments. 175 - 145 - 1 overall record. 6 tournament wins.

That would be cool, clan!

I worry that card play and the focus on killing a single unit, though, will end up making these units less direct Scape clones than we'd like. I think we may have to trust the C3V and SoV (or perhaps others) to do the best they can to use the units and adapt them to classic Scape.

We'll see.

What I know is that I'm excited to try this out. If it's blends Scape, Summoner Wars, Magic, Dungeon Command, and the like together effectively--this could be a really excellent game, all on its own.

Re: Magic: the Gathering Strategy Board Game (Looks HeroScap

Seems like Summonerscape to me.

C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

This is exactly my thought as well. Looks like Heroscape, plays like Summoner Wars.

Re: Magic: the Gathering Strategy Board Game (Looks HeroScap

There was a Magic video game on Xbox a while ago. When Summoner Wars came out it reminded me of the Magic VG, this new Magic BG is even closer to it.
