danp164 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Hi, a friend of mine introduced me to the game and it looked really good, and I really like the art style, in fact im hovering over the buy button for a Neverborn starter box, but one thing struck me. Do the starter boxes come with a quick start rules guide to give the rough basics of how to play or do I HAVE to fork out on a rulebook straight off? (My fiance also wants to play something about the arcanists new showgirl box...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koali Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 You have to buy the Rulebook... There are no short Rulesets in the Boxes... only the Statcards of the models... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danp164 Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Ah well, thanks for the fast response, extra 20 quid to the order then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omenbringer Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I have often wished Wyrd would release a quick start set of rules (just the mechanics not the encounters) for the game. Perhaps they will once they are 100% sure the core rules are the way they would like them. I must second Xango's comment, the books are definately worth the money.

Sleeper00 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 However, I will say don't underestimate the usefulness of the downloads section of tabletop games. There are a lot of forms there that will help you understand the game better. Just search for malifaux downloads and you will get the Tabletop games website.

Poko Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I have often wished Wyrd would release a quick start set of rules (just the mechanics not the encounters) for the game. This. Or do like CB and quite a few other companies do, and release the bare bones of the rules (no fluff, no pics, no nothing except rules) in PDF. Because seriously, while the cool models got me to buy in in the end, I was hesitant right to the very second of clicking buy, because I strongly dislike buying a cat in the bag that may as well turn out to be a complete disaster with no way of checking it.

Gremlin Swarm Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 The rulebook also has model stat listings for ones that aren't in the starter boxes (or are in different boxes) that you might end up wanting to get. With the lists in the book, you can try them out and make sure you're getting the extra models you really want, rather than shooting half-blind. It helped me a lot to decide which models I wanted to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
