Board Games Comments Off

May 112012

Mage Wars is a tactical board game, a combination of a card game and miniatures game, combining the best elements from each game. The game is played on an arena game board which is divided into square areas called “zones”. Zones regulate movement and placement of objects. Each Mage (player) starts in a corner of the arena, opposite his enemy. Each player holds a spellbook, from which spell cards are pulled out as they are cast during the game. This has the feel of being a real Mage, turning the pages of your tome of magic, as you plan your strategy each turn. You have full access to cast any spell you want each turn, allowing for an unprecedented level of rich strategy and tactics.

Panzer Clash Starter Pack

$ 17.99 SRP

Panzer Clash is a light, card-based war game for two Players about Second World War Panzer battles. With the Starter Pack you get all you need to start playing right away: Two player decks, one Axis and one Allies Deck, as well as a Terrain Deck. Pick either side and try to defeat your opponent on the battlefield. The player decks contain Factories, Units, Events and Terrain Modifiers. The players randomly pick 20 Terrain Cards laying them face down in a 4 X 5 grid on which their unit cards will move. Factories are needed to build Units and Terrain Modifiers as well as to power Events. Units and Events, which belong to one or more of the four factions (Germans, Japanese, Americans and Soviets) are used to attack and deal damage to the opponent. These have certain beneficial effects on the game or are used to weaken the opponent. For each point of damage a Player receives through Units and Events, one card from the deck is put into the discard-pile. If a player is unable to draw a card from the Supply, that player loses immediately. So take up the challenge, be a Panzer General and vie for ultimate domination on the battlefields of World War 2 . Contents: 120 cards One 50 cards Axis Deck One 50 cards Allies Deck One 20 cards Terrain Deck One Rules Booklet

Matt’s Dark Ascension Picks

Gaming News, Magic The Gathering Comments Off

Jan 282012

Wow! It is that time already another Magic Prerelease is upon us. I am sorry for not doing this sooner, but I have been busy making some videos for the blog and trying to pay for life. So Dark Ascension is what we are going to talk about. Specifically my picks. Since this is my second ever set review I am trying to be different. my reviews will always differ from the other guys because I am a both competitive and casual and a judge. I tend to look at a set and say wow this is cool or this really stands out for this deck. What you won’t get from this is the best draft picks, or replacement cards in deck types. What you will get is a broader selection. I don’t care about only the competitive end of the game.

With that said I am going to take a different approach this time. Since, Dark Ascension is only 150 cards I ma cutting my selection to only 3 cards per color one common, an uncommon, and a rare. Starting with black.

I think the best three cards in black are GravePurge, Wakedancer, and GraveCrawler.

GravePurge

Because putting a card(s) on top of your library from your graveyard and drawing it is cool. The fact that it is an instant makes it really good.

WakeDancer

She has all the synergy you want in a card. Cheap to play and a good ability.

Gravecrawler

What can I say undead should always be played from the graveyard
