This is a very fun game but I did not enjoy playing the Klingons. They are a hard race to play because you are forced to attack and the consequences of attack can be harsh. I played the Klingons and I should have attacked the Ferengi when I had the chance. They were the most…
I have said it before. This is a great game! I played with 4 players as a playtest as a local game store and then 5 players are MACE West 2018. Both with expansion races (Cardassians and Ferengi) and the Borg expansion. The Borg expansion is incredible. It changes the game to a certain degree…
This is the first time I played this game with the new expansions. Both were played with a 4 player game, leaving the Romulans out. I think most of the players played conservatively at the beginning. That tends to make the game go longer. I was the Feds and I purposely tried to always find…
Fri 8 pm – 12 am: Shatterzone Xenos Alpha I play tested this at RonCon. I am not sure how well this is going to go. I never ran SZ at a Con because of its complexities. I am going to try my best to nail those down and avoid book diving, but it may be…
These are pictures of my playtest but I did play it at MACE West 2017 with 2 other players. I want to like this game so much but I think it has its flaws. Either that, or we are playing it wrong. I realize there is a second edition coming out and I may get…
This is a great game! It really has a Star Trek feel. I plan to do a review of this but I really look forward to playing this more and more, especially with expansions. The 3 player game is great but it has its issues. Primarily, it’s a 3 player 4X that can basically boil…
I plan to write a review of this game soon. It has be torn. It has a strong Euro feel but just enough player interaction and combat that it keeps my attention. This was by far one of the best games I played of Scythe. Seven great players. Got it down in 2 hours. I played…
This game has me torn. I don’t necessarily like Euro-games. Worker placement is not bad but the general race to the most points bothers me. I need more player interaction and this one has some. No dice rolling though. Just a bluff mechanic for combat. I like the 4X feel of the game and the…
Very Cool Game! It is a game I have been anticipating since its announced release. I had played games similar to it – Memoir ’44, Axis & Alliles minis – and enjoyed them to some degree. I know I could not afford it any time soon. I am trying to sell some things on ebay…
