We won't go back to RISK due to luck/lack of depth (but love the big map war), won't play Axis & Allies again, and while I like C&C: Ancients the theme and system fell flat to all my friends and sons and admittedly I never feel invested in the battle. ![]() We have a big hole in our library for a 1v1 (or 2v2) game for our tastes.We have played a fair deal of moderate to slightly heavy games: Eclipse, Scythe, Steampunk Rally, Cry Havoc, Command & Colors: Ancients, Race/Roll for the Galaxy, Star Wars Imperial Assault and X-Wing, etc.We would probably play 1v1 with the 12 yo on my team or even do 1v2 (1 FP and 2 SP) We are LotR fans we loved the movies and my boys really like the books.That aside we felt the basic mechanic was good and the battleback system rewarding.įinally, an opinion request: Do you recommend War of the Ring for us? having a ton of left flank moves but your troops on the right) so we allowed 1 discard and 1 draw each round. Command and Colors: Ancients is fair but we didn't like the standard rules as you often felt locked into cards (e.g. computers can add +1, +,2 or +3 to each roll and each ship can have multiple computers) and defenders are trying to use shields to subtract the pips (-1, -2, etc.) The system works well because you have a huge amount of risk mitigation and have to be mindful of your opponents' designs. From there to hit the attacker most modify their hit to add up to 6 (e.g. I would appreciate a break down of the mechanics, the balance, and pros and cons.įor what it is worth, I consider Eclipse "fair" in that a natural roll 6 is always a hit and a 1 is always a miss. Leaders like the Aragon, Gandalf, and the Witch King have further benefits. Do people feel the combat (troop movement, combat resolution) to be fair and rewarding?įrom what I know it sounds like combat is standard D6 dice where 5 and 6 are hits and there is card augmentation. War of the Ring is well regarded by a lot of posters here so I would love some feedback on their combat mechanics. r/tabletopgamedesign - Designer's subreddit.r/boardgameexchange - selling/buying/trading games. ![]() Game of the Week Calendar Related Sites & Subreddits The simplest use is to bold game names in your comment and add " /u/r2d8 getinfo" at the end of the post, but this post/sub has other features identified.
