Re: Magic: the Gathering Strategy Board Game
I played Arena today at a local gaming event.
What I see it as is a more complicated version of HeroScape, and that's only because of the spells, they take some getting used to. Everything else is the same (basically). We played on normal HeroScape maps and I lost both matches. I ended up playing Lilliana and Nissa and the only thing that threw me off is that the squads have life, some have a life of 3 and others have a life of 1. It's a fantastic game IMO and I hope they continue with expansions. Here are a few images I took if anyone wants to see them in action:

My Thoughts
I played Arena at the same game function as NS. I obliterated William099 who made a misstep and put his planeswalker on low ground and then watched as she was annihilated by 3 attacks of 4 and then I proceeded to return his squads to his reserve which was at that point basically his graveyard. (Blue is its typical annoying self )
My thoughts. Meh. It wasn't a bad game. Maybe I'll like it better with more expansions but what I had didn't excite me or get me wheels ticking like Magic or Heroscape does on their own. There's definitely strategy and it is a bit clever how the two were blended. As it is, I'm not terribly excited by it. ~Dysole, reserving the right to change opinion as time goes on My Twitch Channel where I play Scape and other things My YouTube Channel where the games get uploaded later Dysole's Draft Rankings Map Thread (Not responsible for psychic damage) Customs Battle Reports This sentence is seven words long.

Ninja Status,
I see you're playing on Scape terrain--good for you. What is the red circular marker under the yellow squaddie in the second photo? |

Re: Magic: the Gathering Strategy Board Game
It is unlikely to be sold at GenCon by WotC. Other sellers might have it, though if they do, who knows at what price. Official wide release date is August 1.
Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide shot selection! Scaper of the Week #17 How to get to Skyknight's house: Drive to the red light, then call him. |

Re: Magic: the Gathering Strategy Board Game
I played this game yesterday @ my LFGS, 3 person game took about 40 min. The 3-d terrain is identical to Scape, but there is only 2 3 hex sand, and 2 1 hex sand.
The 6 bases are made of card board, and snap together like a jigsaw puzzle. the edges of the card board edges do NOT match the 3-d edges, you just use them do add height to the map. Game will retail for $29.99. Each player gets 1 planes walker wizard, and the 2 squads that match their color. Game play is just like Scape, with the added feature of a deck of spells to use during your turn. The combat dice are the same, except skulls are now crossed swords. any questions? I'll try to answer. The Sith eye Valhalla with envy |
