I saw on Smorey Swamp that Commanders and Tactics WW2 Deck Building Game was played at Gencon. I have been trying to find the game on BGG with no luck. If anyone knows this game and can provide a link that would be awesome.
Apparently it was designed by a sub commander, Andrew Benford. I think that some of the components look interesting, like the acrylic sonar overlays. If anyone’s interested, I can try to give it a play and post a review of it here.
This is on Table Top Simulator now for anyone interested. Rules have been updated on the TTS version, still have yet to update this forum post. If I see interest, I will post the new stuff on here.
Well Dead Island SUCKS. It’s like playing GTA and Mortal Combat….with Zombies.
Totally nothing but constant “jobs” for you to complete, mostly alone. The game is hardly Multiplayer and you don’t get any guns till near the end and it is just one large map.
Left 4 Dead is 1 million times better.
It is basically impossible for you to play with friends since the game decides when you are at a similar mission level to “join” other people.
As far as being good, I liked it, but I like OV beer so…… Battles had no chance component, but trade cards could introduce some nasty events that can set you back. Diplomacy and trading were how you won for the most part. Optimizing your country for the geography and national goals were what I liked best. But I am an optimization junkie.
