This is a mechanic that I found to be nice. It works very well, and like SuperflyTNT said, it will work very well with the ****** faction when it is released.

It is a quick and often brutal combat/strategy game. It is easily transported. It is simple to learn. I look forward to seeing the final product.

Re: Summoner Wars by Plaid Hat Games

Elements used:

Chess: Kill opponent's leader to win
Heroscape: You know what's in the booster packs
Every fantasy game ever made: Elves...humans...orcs...etc.
Magic TCG: 'Sacrifice' to summon more stuff.


Are the game mats or whatever you play on squares, hexes, or something different?

Re: Summoner Wars by Plaid Hat Games

I believe it was mentioned they were card shaped.

I'm trying to picture these maps myself. I wonder if they are set up like dungeons, or battlefield? What sort of size. Are they customizable in anyway, or static.

Re: Summoner Wars by Plaid Hat Games

Curses, I found the answer on page two and in less than a minute someone corrects me.

Now I need to perfect a hobby game and get it on the market to compete with Truth .

From the descrptions I've read I think it's just a grid of rectangles, with any picture underneath having no affect on actual game play.

The cards I've seen have both been from an elf faction. Do the other factions stay within a fantasy theme of similar genres, or do they cover a wider range, like heroscape, including robots and samurai.

I've never played a card game before, but if I can convince at least one other person in my group to try it, I'll give pick this up.
It will be fantasy.

Truth, what are the dimensions of the cards?

Just two dimensions Aldin, don't get your hopes of for a newfangled four dimensional mind-bending extravaganza.

Funny. Wrong, but funny.

I'm glad to hear that. I am a much bigger fan of the strictly fantasy game, rather than the sci-fi elements.
