edonil Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 That's the hope! Of course, I expect my lack of description to be a problem, lol. We'll see how it all goes, just signing up for the forum at the moment, we'll go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 So, what the heck is this Risk Legacy game? Never heard of that variation of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 me neither. ugh... there's yet another part to this episode and I'm exhausted. i'll finish it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Basically, it's risk with some extra rules. But as an added effect, you can play 'scars' to leave permanent effects on the board (bunkers, ammo shortages, etc). And at the end of the game the winner gets to pick from a list of stuff, like destroying a territory card, building a major city, or naming a continent (that ups your bonus, but noone else's, for controlling it). Then the other players that survived get to pick from a different list, like minor cities. There's sealed packs of stickers to use in games and to add to the factions to give them different traits, that you unlock as things occur over a series of games. So one is when there are nine minor cities, one is when a player gets exterminated the first time, and so on. By the end of fifteen games, the board is permanently strewn with cities and the side effects of battle, the factions have all picked their upgrades from either/or lists, and it's all unique to your set of games. Then it's locked as that for all future games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Huh. That sounds awesome, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Yah, I was a bit dubious but having my name signed on the board as a winner, and seeing the effects of just one game (central America is hard to attack, Greenland is hard to defend, theres a couple of cities about that boost your territory count, and noone but me can start in western aus) was pretty sweet. Fourteen more games to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Which is weird, cause I hate Risk. By the way, is one of the options to eliminate Australia? Cause that location really screws up the balance of that game, lol ---------- Post added at 12:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ---------- Going to become a weekly thing, then?

Mako Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Lol, you can take away the resource bonuses for owning those territories, and the cards can be stripped from the deck, or you can add coin value (used to buy extra troops) to other countries' cards ---------- Post added at 05:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 AM ---------- Dunno if it'll be weekly, this last week has just had three game nights in it lol. I have projects to focus on too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Sweet, lots of game time is always good. That really does sound like fun, gonna have to look into that...did they fix the three dice problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Still three attack and two defence dice. But the scar stickers can add or subtract from them so it's not always the same balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Ah, so fights can still take forever...eh. Still sounds interesting, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I think the worst we had was one of my opponents realising the only way to stop me winning at the start of my turn was to take my HQ from me, and even then it might not work. So he charged nine men from Egypt across Asia, and only a lot of lucky rolls saved me from him taking Indonesia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 ... What is this game called again? I WANT IT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Did take a lot of rolling though. ---------- Post added at 05:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 AM ---------- Risk legacy. It's pretty pricey, at about 50 bucks. But having a board that shows the scars of all your early battles is pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 It's a variation of Risk apparently... ---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ---------- Heh, $50 for a board game isn't that bad... ...good Lord, I've been in this hobby too long.

Mako Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 When all three of us were scrapping over Greenland (one players HQ), and he gets a faction defence bonus, I decided to use the ammo shortage to weaken his defence. Which of course then meant I got kicked out next turn, and then took it back, then lost it... ---------- Post added at 05:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 AM ---------- Yeah, it's not bad for a game, just on the pricier end of it. Catan is no better if you want anything more than base game lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Ugh, that's one game I do not like. Here's a WIP of a drawing I'm working on. India ink with a dip pen. Don't ask me what the critter is, I haven't named it. Y'all are welcome to if you feel so inclined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Dominion...I've got Core, three large expansions, and two small expansions. Almost $250 into that game, lol. ---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 AM ---------- Oh, now that's pretty....

Evilbleachman Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Dominion is a great game. It is a really fun game, but easy to get side tracked in it. I actually recently ordered Netrunner. I want to give it a whirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 If it's anything like the quality of the Star Wars game, I'm sure it's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Thank you. The critter was drawn a couple months ago, I've been filling him out with fur, shadows and patterns for a couple days.
