Hello! Got some exciting new board game/miniatures stuff going on. I'll start with a post about a couple board games I picked up last week. I went out to my local Barnes and Noble, they have a couple big bins that they put discounted stuff in. Usually worth rummaging through. I found quite a few board games, Zombicide season 2 for half off, while i was tempted it was still 50 bucks. Also saw Doomtown Reloaded for 10 bucks, kicking myself for not grabbing it. What I did buy however, was a remake of the classic game Car Wars. I've seen it online a few times and was really interested in getting it. It was only 7 or 8 bucks so I bought it along with a game I've never heard of before called Armadora.
Armadora sounded cool because it involved dwarves, which I love. However upon reading the rules I discovered it was a super basic game and that dwarves aren't even a playable race.
Its a cool looking little game that will go into my travel collection.
Car Wars looks amazing. Its old school but I love so much about it. It comes with a big black an white map that is double sided, some tokens for vehicles and pedestrians. Also has a turning ruler thing and a couple dice.
The rule book is black and white. It has a cool chronology of history explaining the events that lead up to car wars and how a world filled with vehicular mayhem came to be.
Also included are two sheets used to record your vehicle and its stats along with its status. One is for traditional 4 wheeled cars and the other for cycles.
Another cool thing is the section that lets you design your own cars. This includes the body type, armor, and weapons. Overall I'm excited to learn to play and find somebody to 'autoduel' with. I'll do a new post tomorrow about the minis/board games I hope to get this week.
