Magic: the Gathering Strategy Board Game

They are printed mat sections. Sort of a mini Lexan mat that hooks together.

Those are Heroscape tiles. They're *all* Heroscape tiles, though the ones on the edge have little doodads linked on. I hadn't seen these pics before. . .


edit: Ahh, Grish's explanation makes sense. So there's actually very little terrain here, and the ruins look like that interlocking cardboard stuff. Makes sense, economically. Maybe the final production boxes will have more terrain than these will. Mark my words, if this game is popular, your collection of Heroscape terrain, dear reader, will jump in value. By a *lot*.

SO excited! This is exactly what I've been waiting for. Well almost, it's not quite a Heroscape collection but a similar game I could definitely get into

[Gurei-Ornery]

Close will be good enough for me.

Wouldn't it be nifty if that base layer were made of neoprene (mousepad material)?

[Dad_Scaper]

It looks like it is. . . Hey @Jim , could you merge all three of these threads, please? Kthxbye.

I may finally get to see a VC terrain release yet!

I'm aware that they match inside the terrain, but look at the outer edge of all the water tiles. They are shaped differently.

If that's the case, I hope it finally convinces them to make more of those types of terrain.

You know, I honestly don't know what to make of this. I'm just not a fan of Magic the Gathering. The mere thought of taking story lines and elements of that CCC and somehow merging it with elements of the Heroscape rules kinda leaves me cold. It's not going to be the same game that's for sure. A strange sort of hybrid maybe. At least with D&D they placed that squarely into the Heroscape game. I could live with that. This is a different beast entirely. I'll wait and see before I get too bent out of shape excited over it.

You can also judge the size of the box it will come in by those hex mats. The box size does leave room for some figures and extra plastic tiles. Interesting choice of color going with the concrete grey.
