BoxRender_STE_ForgedInFire-Small-for-Web-Site-InsertionIn this Box Breaking Matt takes a look at the new warlock and warlord for Mage Wars.   He discusses the strategy a little as well as his favorites from the expansion.  I do believe my favorite card is Conquer it offers so much strategy to an already strategic game.

Thanks for watching  you can get one of 4 signed copies of Forged in Fire as a pledge in our Kickstarter  The Convention Experience.  It is about us bringing you into  a great experience from Gen Con this year.   One dollar will go a very long way with this project.

Dungeon Heroes Game Review

dungeonheroesDungeon Heroes is a dungeon crawl that can be taught to a new player in five minutes. It really is that simple to learn. It can also be just as easily won or lost in that same amount of time if the players are not careful. Unlike many dungeon crawlers you roll no dice, which I unexpectedly found to be a good spin.

The rules support a 2-player and a single player mode. The two player version pits the players against each other. One player is the Dungeon and the other plays the heroes, cleric, fighter, wizard, rogue. I should rephrase that. He plays a party of heroes that have very specific roles. That is actually where a lot of the strategy enters the game.

CompoundedIn the resource management game Compounded players use elements one would find in an ordinary high school chemistry lab to create compounds to earn points. It sounds simple, but there are more mechanics involved that can change the game every time you play. One of these allows the players to barter among themselves. To further the degree of strategy involved there is a random factor to the game providing twists and turns in the critical thinking process of the players planning.

Hull BreachHull Breach: Corporate Wars

$40.00 SRP

 

Hull Breach is a sci-fi cards-and-dice game set in the future and puts players in command of a space station out among the stars. Their mission is to improve their station, build a powerful fleet of warships and Marines, and then destroy their opponents with help from various events, tactics and technological breakthroughs!

 

Players take turns drawing cards, managing their per-turn economic gain, and manufacturing what forces they can before deciding whether or not to attack their enemies or continue biding their time. Games can be short and brutal, or they can be long and cautious, but the end result is the same: only one player can be left standing to achieve dominance of the sector. Some players will be adept at producing sheer numbers of ships, others at making a smaller number of ships more powerful individually, and others at simply stalling, manipulating, and controlling their foes.

 

Hull Breach: Corporate Wars comes with three pre-constructed 55-card decks representing the “Big Three” mega-corporations: Xeros Engineering, Anaheim Manufacturing, and the Bank of the Galaxy – each with its own different playstyle.

 

The box set contains:

-The three decks

-A supply of ten-sided dice

-Four different stocks of colored plastic beads and tokens for keeping track of various game effects

-A soft-bound rulebook

-A soft-bound fiction supplement containing more information about the game universe.
