    Axis and Allies - new vs old?

    Bought A&A (revised) today for 10% off at my FLGS along with Risk Godstorm. Got to play Godstorm (liked it but a few problems --- most easily house ruled away). Risk Godstorm thread: http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=94088 A&A revised: There was no storage tray (which totally sucks...

    Risk - Godstorm

    Bought it. Played it. Liked it. Won it. :cool: Problems: Everything the previous poster stated, plus you do not get enough faith to do much of anything. I think starting play with everyone getting one free temple with one free god of their choice (on the temple territory as a kind of default...

    Axis and Allies - new vs old?

    I know A&A can't alter the set-up much without ruining its premise, but still, it would be cool to have some kind of historical type cards you could play in A&A, though, like "Deploy Hitler Youth" to add free infantry reinforcements to Germany (perhaps under certain conditions like with Russia...

    Risk - Godstorm

    Initial reviews say it's fun but not as well designed as Risk 2210 AD was (rules wise or components wise, excluding minis). I'm waiting to see what more reviews will say before buying, esp. for $45, and when I'm also considering getting the new Axis & Allies (also $45). Then again, I just...

    Axis and Allies - new vs old?

    Anyone have a list of "broken" National Advantages? Also, who thinks it would have been cool to add Risk 2210 AD command cards and some type of General minis (Rommel, Tojo, MacArthur, etc.) with special powers to the new A&A?

    Zombies!!! Horror Board Game

    Had some experience with Zombies 4 now and found it too deadly and also boring as is. Too many "plain woods" map tiles for my taste... most of the 30 tile deck! I cut the map deck down to 16 cards (as big as the mall, keeping all but the extra cave named locations and 3-4 plain woods tiles)...

    Axis & Allies: New version worth it?

    How balanced is the revised A&A game? This is what's most important to me. I hear Germany, Japan and USA start with much more money (40, 30, and 42 respectively). I don't know how much more stuff any countries get during intial set-up. National Advantages sound cool. Basically, I still don't...

    When Darkness Comes

    Been reading reviews online (precious few of 'em), and see that everyone agrees that the rulebook is the worst one ever written in terms of clarity (the co-author admits that she regretted leaving out examples, though this is corrected on their website as a free download). Reaction to the game...

    When Darkness Comes

    I loved Zombies!!! (except for Part 4, which was mediocre at best), and am considering getting Twilight Creations other game for their Variable Tile System (TM), "When Darkness Comes." Looking for advice from people who own or have played this game as to whether it's worth it or not, and how...

    Axis & Allies: New version worth it?

    My group used to enjoy this game, but it got old fast when the Axis could never seem to win, only delay the inevitable. The new version is supposed to be more equally balanced so the end result is not preordained. How good is the new version and all of its changes? BTW: After playing and...

    Zombies!!! Horror Board Game

    BTW: Just bought and played a couple games with the Zombies 3.5 Expansion Cards (50 new cards), and found most of the cards to be incredibly cool. 3.5 is a good value at $9.95, but I found the custom deck building optional rules confusing on how each player decides which 50 cards he gets in his...

    Zombies!!! Horror Board Game

    I just finished a five hour four person Zombies game, LOL, which would have been over hours earlier except for three things: 1) We made a new rule that the helipad has 8 regular zombies and 1 super zombie (roll a 6 to kill) on it and all foes on the helipad must be defeated in order to win. 2)...

    Zombies!!! Horror Board Game

    I like the game play (after adding my house rules), but even if you don't, you still get 100 plastic zombie figures suitable for D&D. Makes me wanna play a mad necromancer... :p

    Zombies!!! Horror Board Game

    I've found that the expansion packs, combined with house rules, really make this game horribly addictive and always a complete challenge, even with just two players. By adding in super zombies, zombie dogs, tougher victory conditions, nearly all the new event cards, and "death match" rules, you...

    Zombies!!! Horror Board Game

    I played it with my buddy and his seven year old son last night and despite his ill-advised and often cowardly moves of both himself and the zombies, once he knew what his cards did, he usually knew which ones to play to great effect. We did not really help him play too much outside of...

    Board Games forum please

    Then could you perhaps include a mention of boardgames in one of the forum descriptions so people know where to post about them and the posts aren't randomly spread out over a couple different forums?

    Zombies!!! Horror Board Game

    Totally agree. Zombies 3: Mall Walkers gives you a shopping mall to run amuck in, just like Dawn of the Dead. The new cards are almost all great, and some allow you to fight other players or steal their bullets and cards! It's a little overpriced at $15 because it doesn't include any new figures...

    Zombies!!! Horror Board Game

    The official site has a bunch of different house rules and options, such as team play, different character powers for the players, new weapons, scenarios, campaigns, an alternate ending, and of course, FAQs --- check the links page for a link to an RPG based on the game. However, I've found the...

    That might be because there is no "place" designated for them?
