Message: <blockquote data-quote="MerricB" data-source="post: 5767944" data-attributes="member: 3586">Same world, different mechanics. Doesn't use clicky figures (except for the cities...)It's a game by Vlaada Chvatil (Through the Ages, Galaxy Trucker, Dungeon Lords) who is one of the truly great modern boardgame designers - almost every game by him is well worth checking out. In the Mage Knight boardgame, you're an adventurer who wanders around the land destroying evil, exploring dungeons, conquering keeps and cities, or possibly just burning down monasteries to get at their artefacts!The game comes with a lot of scenarios, and you gain VPs for a number of things, with bonus VPs for being the best in each category. The basic VP scores is your XP (fame). The categories are:* Knowledge (Advanced Skills and Spells)* Treasure (Artefacts and Mana Crystals)* Leadership (Allies)* Exploration/Evil Slaying (Monster Dens, Dungeons and Ruins explored)* Conquest (Keeps, Mage Towers, If you do "evil" actions during the game (conquest, looting villages, etc) your reputation goes down and it gets harder to get healing & recruit units in the world; if you do "good" actions (destroying marauding monsters), your reputation goes up.There are both competitive and co-operative scenarios in the game.And, apparently, the game might be sold out worldwide. This probably means a reprint really soon. It's a really good game, which plays partly like a deckbuilding/resource management game, and partly like a fantasy adventure game. There's so much to explore in the game...Cheers!</blockquote>
