Anybody played Tide of Iron: Next Wave?
It's on clearance at Mini Market right now and it looks pretty cool. Heroes of Star Wars Scape (HoSS) My Custom Repaint Figures / My Custom Terrain / My Maps & Scenarios / My Trade List Red 6 standing by! |

I wish I would have known, I would have given you my copy of Blood Rage. I ended up selling it to someone that came into the store recently. I didn't even get a chance to play it. Medieval Academy sounds fun, I'll have to give it a try. |

D'oh! Was it the Kickstarter version? Continuing the thread hijacking: I'm jumping on the bandwagon a little late. I had actually dismissed the game until I had the chance to play last weekend. For anyone not familiar with Blood Rage, you play as a Viking clan, and your goal is to gain as much glory (victory points) as possible, frequently by dying in the fires of Ragnarok. You also gain glory by winning battles and completing quests. What I enjoyed the most is that you start each age (round - there are 3) by drafting a hand of cards. These include battle cards that can increase your strength in battle, upgrades that provide stronger units and monsters, and quests that enable you to score points by area control. The cards are what make the game, because you can really combine them in so many ways. There are some that allow you to steal points from others, some that give you glory for having your warriors die, some that give you points for each surviving warrior, and so on. The entire game is spent struggling for dominance and pillaging villages for rewards, only to have others jumping in to fight you and try to steal your spoils. It is a very tight, tense game with elements of Euro resource management, area control, and Ameritrash theme. It shares some similarities to Kemet, but it plays faster, and I prefer the drafting to the open market for upgrades in Kemet. Both are great, but I much prefer Blood Rage. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes direct competition (haven't played it with two, though) and cool minis. That may be a worthwhile stop. I'd love to have it for open gaming after the tournament. I actually went ahead and bought two expansions at our local store because I knew I would want them with the game (just an example of my acquisition disorder). |

I'd like to give it a shot after the tournament, too, if you have it by then.

If this process persists to happen frequently, then you may have an Acquisition Disorder disorder.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
I have now played Blood Rage for my 20th time last night, this time with the NYCG4 Apres Scape, and we all still love it. The replayability value is high, since you can keep trying things you haven't before. Of course, there is no guarantee they will work. In one turn I went from what would have put me a close second in a four player game to a bare third place. Curse you, Sherman Davies of the Bear Clan! That's what I get for lending him the clan I always play.
Yesterday we also invented a new type of card drafting from a limited pool for Super Scape. It had been years since we tried any type of actual in person drafting, other than online. See our thread in General Discussion soon for a report on this Sherman Davis Scape session! |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Thanks for clarifying the acronym. I was just about to ask. Participation in 200th event certainly is a major milestone, but seems to me that it should warrant a more impressive title than simply "Legionaire." Maybe "Double-(Duo)-Centurion" would be more appropriate?

Also, "events" basically refers to our weekly Monday night meetings, monthly all day Saturday game days, or any conventions or game store events we demo games and represent our group (where generally there are several of us representing there). So most of my 200 appearances are from our weekly meetings over the past 5 years come this June.
