www.warhammer-community.com/2018/02/19/new-games-new-york/So new Blitz game released which I think is a great idea. Again like Shadespire it's an easier to get into fast game that may introduce players to the larger world of GW products. 6 minis per side with simplified rules. I'm excited for this. Gary

It’s a shame it has Orcs and Humans. If it had come with different figures I’d probably be more inclined to get it (I seem to remember that Kerrunch, the original cut down version, shipped with four races). Anything that gets younger players into a game is all good though.

I barely play BB despite loving it, hard to find opponents, but a simple version could be perfect to introduce to the wife & the kids later on when they're old enough

Picked it up this weekend. Have tried three Barnes and Nobles over the last three weeks, third one did the trick. I'd recommend calling before stopping in if you are looking for it. Or just ordering from B and N online. People in other countries have been able to order it online to their country (at a shipping premium.) The store that had it was a collegetown based Barnes and Nobles the other two said they didn't think it was released yet (this was September 8th or so when I was asking) or just didn't think they were going to be able to get it from their distributor. We played 2 games, me vs my 7 year old and my 7 year old vs my wife. We really enjoyed it. Blood Bowl tactics figured in (ball stuck in a scrum and how to get it free to pick up) without the rules density of Blood Bowl. It's not Blood Bowl but maybe a highly Blood Bowl influenced board game. My wife and son were able to play with me providing intermittent rules guidance - but I was able to mostly just work on the computer while they were playing. My wife has never once played Blood Bowl or had any interest but was willing to try this out. She also walked away intrigued about how other teams would work (my son owns a Chaos team and my daughter Amazons) so that's a good sign. Our first two games went quite fast much less time then a single game of Blood Bowl and with two experienced adult gamers I think would go even faster. The card based scoring is quite interesting and keeps it from being Blood Bowl light. The lack of rules density meant my non wargaming wife and gaming obsessed but only 7 year old son were able to grasp it pretty quickly without me doing much hand holding. It's really it's own thing and quite enjoyable. Highly recommend picking it up if you can. Watch it played video is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTTDxZZDhL4 |
