Bohemian Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I came back from GenCon today. First off I want to thank Z, Steve and Justin for running the tournaments I played in. I also want to thank Matt for being the last 'even' player for Puppet Wars. We had an epic 2-player on Saturday night. Puppet Wars is not Malifaux. They are different. I had a blast playing in three Puppet Wars tournaments. I learned a lot about the game. It helps to play, so get out there an play! Anyway, what lessons learned or tips did anyone get at GenCon? I learned that one should discard the black joker when you get it since the deck is not shuffled each turn like in Malifaux. A lot of players like me are old school and remember ZoC (Zones of Control). Don't use that concept. There is a "Blocking Rule" on page 17 of the rulebook that many were confusing with ZoC. There is no ZoC in Puppet Wars. I hope everyone had as great a time as I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowopal Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Buying all the expansions and the main box does not get you a teddy . Other than that. You'll want to get a case to hold all the minis. Those little multi part guys are gonaa bounce around that box . Great game. Looking forward to playing a bit as I spent the entire weekend demoing Malifaux. Hope everyone had a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backno Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I played this game on a lark and the wife and I bought the full set + 2 more Puppet Decks + a KR Multicase to hold everything. I learned that I can scratch my miniature game itch with having to feel bad about dragging friends into the game, having them spend like 150 bucks, and having them hate the game. I learned that Karn is an interesting fellow I learned that I had better draft the minis I want to paint early or the wife will steal them away from me.

Bohemian Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I didn't get a teddy in my five boxes either. Justin said he got one in his one box he bought. Other than that I guess there was maybe 1 in 17 for those who I talked too. I heard they were like one in every ten boxes. I did get some playing in the tournaments though.

karn987 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 On another note I want to thank everyone who stopped by for a Demo in the MH with me during the convention! Just running through the game over and over again has honestly taught me a lot about how to demo the game and how people received it! I know I've learned a lot from everyone and hopefully when it comes time to do this again we can make it even better! I honestly loved seeing things click with people as they played through the game and I hope everyone had lots of laughs and fun with it! Hopefully people wont forget that you have to say Mine! in a high pitched voice! I know Lobo and I were pitching that ;D Thanks again to everyone! I hope I made at least a decent impression upon you and honestly I hope you enjoyed the game more then anything else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I learned that in just one weekend of sulking and looking sad you can convince your wife that Indianapolis in August is the perfect place to take family vacation I hope to see all you guys next year.

The Fett Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I learned that the cutest little puppets and be the most evil little, devious jerks! I instantly fell in love with this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadilon Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I learned to stay the H3ll away from Rusty Alyce! She has a power that can one-shot your master and take you out of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTFriday13 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I learned that the Ice Golem is a great addition to any army for it's Rg 3 free action. I learned that working with the guys at Wyrd (everyone I met) was a blast, and that getting booth credit to demo a game that is awesome really is like having delicious cake and eating delicious cake at the same time! I learned that it is possible to demo games on very little sleep and with no voice assuming enough caffeine and/or adrenaline is running through your system. I learned that it really is fun to cackle with glee upon convincing people to spend $200+ on a game they had never heard of before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned getting married in August and using GenCon as your anniversary gift/trip every year was teh best idea ever. I learned I am one lucky SOB, getting 4 out of 5 Teddys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bohemian Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I also learned that being aggressive in taking workshops helps your play (more cards to play from). I also got 4 of the 5 Teddy figures. Now I have to paint 50+ little guys and gals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
