Description Edit | History

This classic game of the Fantasy Monster Slug-a-thon is a standby from the Avalon Hill of yore. The game still has a very devoted following, which is a tribute to the depth of the various strategies and approaches. The game is divided into two realms, the masterboard and the battleboards. On the masterboard, legions of mythical creatures roam about trying to recruit bigger and badder monsters and kill opposing legions in the process. When a combat occurs, the space is 'blown-up' by moving the action to the corresponding battleboard type. After lots of dice are tossed, the victor is returned to the masterboard with the spoils of war: points. The points mean little in and of themselves, but they are used to recruit Angels and Archangels and to augment one small character in the game. That particular character is the leader of the player's legions: the Titan. This is the player's alter-ego, and the Titan's fate and the player's fate are one and the same.

Titan is #2 in the Valley Games Classic Line

2 Titan 2-player walkthrough with commentary from both players
Similar to my last walkthrough, this time I added comments from my wife, so you can see what we both were thinking. The main file is the masterboard moves, and there are several files detailing the moves of all of the battles we fought. Neither of us are elite players, but it should show you some of the things that we think about as we play, and maybe some of our mistakes as well.

1 legend to Titan (VG ed) counter tray
The Valley Games edition of Titan comes with a plastic counter tray with illustrations printed on the box bottom. But when full, you can't see the illustrations, so it's hard to find counters. Also, I don't always recognize a counter just by it's illustration (it's a winged monster, just like 5 other ones...). This legend shows the layout of the counter tray and shows how many of each counter is in the game.

4 2-player Titan walkthrough with commentary
Recently I played a two-player titan game on ACTS against my wife, where I wrote down my thoughts as I played the game. I'm hoping that players who are new, or worse than me, might get some insights into the game by reading the sorts of things I think about. I'm also hoping that players who are better than me can help _me_ get insights into the game by telling me where my thoughts are wrong. Anyway, "karentitan.doc" is the masterboard file, with all of the move summaries. The various "battle" files are detailed descriptions of the various battles we fought out, with commentary. When you get to a battle in the main file, I'll mention which battle file corresponds. But they go in order, so it should be obvious.

1 Method to Organize Counters in Original Titan Box
This is, by far, my favorite method I found to organize my counters in my original titan box. Included are two images which show the final result and the measurements to make your own out of a piece of foam. (Sadly, this isn't my original idea, but provided by a friend many years ago and I am finally sharing it here.)

5 Creature Tabs
This file creates tabs fitted to the Valley Games Edition counter tray. After printing, cut the labels, then slide them in between counters, about 2 creatures from the end of the stack. The names will stick out above the counters. Press back on them so they fold away from you. The tabs will make it easy to find creatures in the tray, and serve as a warning of when a stack is almost gone.
