Master Thieves

$ 99.95 SRP

 

The heart of MASTER THIEVES is an elaborate jewelry box made of wood. The box has three levels with four drawers on each level. Each drawer has two side – top and bottom and each can hold jewels. The box is designed such that each level may be rotated independently and the box may also be turned over – it has no permanent top or bottom. The result is a beautiful box and an interesting game that combine to provide players with a very special gaming experience – time after time! MASTER THIEVES is a brilliant game, in which 2-8 “crooks” from 10 years can revel in thievish joy.

Crocodile Pool Party

The crocodiles are loose in the luxurious hotel swimming pool! Just seconds ago, the vacationers were enjoying the cool water of the pool, but what is that? A crocodile has just entered the pool – and now there is one less swimmer! Wow! There’s another croc – and another – and another. As the number of crocs in the water increases, the number of swimmers drops! But, the crocs hunt not only the hapless swimmers, but also other crocodiles. Thus, all in the pool strive to save themselves! The player who brings the most swimmers and crocs to the safety of the end of the pool, will win the game! For ages 8+.

Force on Force is a modern day skirmish game that has no standard line for its models.  In other words it is just a set of rules.  I had tha opportunity to play a quick game at Origins Game fair and I thought I would  share what I learned before I do the book review.  This is not in any way a complete game review and it is important you know that because you can only get so much out of a demo.

I was a little leery of the fact that there is not a miniatures line to go with the game.  After playing the game I am really starting to like the fact that you can proxy your models for your force.  It does two thing for me.  It saves money, and it makes it easy to play any force I want.  Those are important to me.

Force on Force is a simple game to pick up that allows you to apply tactics.  Which is a seemingly unique quality in a skirmish game in our current trending.  It was nice to play a game that wasn’t dependent on simple tricks and gimmicks to win a battle, or a game that requires the player to go first in order to win.  that isn’t the feel I received from playing the demo at all.

The rules are a little different though, well the dice mechanic is.  The system is set up so that different levels of units use different dice.   For example, using a popular motif for labeling units, core troop would use a d6 for their skill rolls while elite troops would be assigned a d8.    The basic concept is the bigger the die the better the troop.  On the flipside though the smaller the die the more likely you are to roll any given number.  For example, you have a 25% chance of rolling a 1,2,3, or a 4 on a d4.  The dice and type of unit are cross referenced  on charts to determine effects.  The other thing that I thought was cool wounded models have a chance of standing back up on their next turn.

If I was to base my opinion of Force on Force entirely on the demo it is certainly worth trying.  I did pick up a copy of the rules to review.  I hope to have it read by the end of next week and a book review written shortly after.

Zig Zag

$ 19.95 SRP

 

Each player has his own obstacle course that his figure must run. To run the course, the player must collect the right terrain cards – in the right order! But this is not an easy task, as all players are racing to get the cards they need at the same time. The game is played in rounds consisting of a terrain collecting phase and a running phase, which are repeated until one player’s figure reaches their goal card.
