Critical Twits Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Hi all! Brian from the Critical Twits here. First of all, a big thank you to everyone who listened to our last Monthly Malifaux podcast, it's been our most-listened to one yet and we're really chuffed that the forum has been showing us such great support. Anyway, now that the crying is out the way, our latest episode is all about flicking games, specifically Ice Cool, Cube Quest, and Terror In Meeple City. I'm really interested in finding out if anyone out there plays these kinds of dexterity games as well as their Malifaux fix, and if there are any similar games that they recommend. I know there was an attempt to marry wargaming and skill gaming with Warhammer Diskwars a while back, but it seemed to be universally disliked. I'm also interested in Flick Em Up and Catacombs, but both come with a hefty price tag so if anyone's played those and has a verdict then I'm all ears!

Fetid Strumpet Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Warhammer disc wars is actually a real inning of a concept that FFG has Ben kicking around for awhile. One of their first major releases was Disk Wars, and there were a few varieties, including and L5R version an a Doom Town version. I really liked the Doom Town Version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critical Twits Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Ah cool, didn't realise there was more history, the first I heard of it was the Warhammer version. It looked really interesting, kind of light and quirky and a bit of a laugh, but I only heard negative things, sadly. I may give it a go if I see it cheap somewhere, though, so thanks! And ah, you mentioned Doomtown, I really want to have a go at Doomtown: Reloaded but none of the rest of my group were as excited as me (even though they generally play more card games than I do). I may just buy it and force them to play it with me for the podcast... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 I was a big Boomtown and L5R player in the early days. I've heard Boomtown reloaded is a very good game. Unfortunately AEG is ceasing publication of the game shortly. The rights are reverting back to Pinnacle, and there isn't any information on whether Pinnacle is going to continue printing it at this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critical Twits Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Oh bugger, I was looking to pick it up next week... I still might while it's available, it does mean there's no changing meta-game to keep up with at least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
