Played another game of MagicScape last night. Definitely better on BoV maps. Then was thoroughly whipped by CatScaper's Fire/Water Vingolf heavy deck in a Force of Will duel. Back to the drawing board for my Light/Dark deck. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Is this "Force of Will" game the one where you blind purchase cards, rip off the foil, and then look at the card *backs*, not even the faces, to see if you got what you want? So you can be disappointed without even looking at the fronts of the cards?
Heh. Junkie. |

Here's the video. I think he speaks for me, too, about all of it: Last edited by Dad_Scaper; August 7th, 2015 at 01:55 PM. Reason: He also says, "If you don't like this kind of game, you should try it anyway." Agreed. This is Good Stuff. |

Yeah DS, I watched Joel's video before buying the game. He's one of the reviewers I use before buying a lot of games. The thing that I've found just in messing around with the game a bit and from several reviews and also interviews at GenCon, is that Ashes lets players get into the action right away. While there may be some minor engine building here and there, most of it isn't and you are able to set up a plan right away with your first 5 cards. The dice add several things to the game. They are mana/resources needed to do certain actions and you can roll well or bad, but you can still discard cards to change some dice to what you want, as well as there's some cards that will do that too. Each different dice type has it's own special power that you can use as a side action, so that adds options as well as making for more differences available from deck to deck. I love the art too. Fernanda Suarez is fantastic. She did all of the art for this game and did a bunch for Dead of Winter. I think her stock just skyrocketed.

She was at GenCon. Though I've never met her, I was very happy for her that she could make the trip. That must have been quite a thrill.
Interestingly, you can trace the family tree for Ashes as follows: Heroscape -> Summoner Wars -> [Plaid Hat influences] -> Ashes And you can trace the Arena of the Planeswalkers this way: Magic -> Various LCG and CCG MtG 2.0 -> AotP And yet, AotP is much more like Heroscape than it is like Magic, and Ashes is much more like Magic than it is like Heroscape. |

~Aldin, who loves Ashes and thinks Fernanda Suarez's art is amazing He either fears his fate too much or his desserts are small That dares not put it to the touch to gain or lose it all ~James Graham |

That may be, but I'm in good company.
