Had my BFF over today for some games:
Nightfall: NF5
First up was a game mixing Nightfall, Nightfall: Martial Law, all the available promos and the latest set in testing: NF5. There's a lot of new stuff going here that unfortunately can't be discussed, but we had a blast!
We played to 30 wounds and the game took a solid hour to play! Not that we weren't attacking; I had some epic attacks of 12, 17 and even one for 38 !!! There's just a lot of new stuff in the game that when used right can prevent these kinds of floods from breaking through. Testing on NF5 is coming to an end very soon and then off to the printers. Nearly time to start working on NF6!
Nightfall: Blood Country
Just a quick blurb here: Blood Country showed up at my place today! The box is a LOT smaller then the standard box, as we're not including starters or wounds and the box isn't intended to hold your whole collection this time around. Pretty nifty if you ask me.
Here's a few shots of all 3 existing sets sleeved and placed in the base game's box:
Sorry, not displaying any pics of the Blood Country box yet. I'd prefer that the first people to get their hands on it have that privilege.
Lord of the Rings: The Card Game
After playing Nightfall and messing with the Blood Country box, we got in a game of The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game. We played using the basic starter decks, no shadow cards in combat and the first quest: The Passage Through Mirkwood. The game went really smoothly and Daniel loved the game, so we decided to play a couple more. The 2nd game we swapped out into different starter decks and went after the 2nd quest. We were shocked that the very first creature in play was tougher then the boss of the 1st quest! I had my threat maxed out pretty fast with Daniel following shortly behind me. We attempted it a 2nd time using different decks and slowly but surely made our way through, barely winning after a long match.
For those that would like to read more, here's the details for each play:
Play #1, Play #2 and Play #3.
