Played a scenario of Core Space with Richard, Jim, Lee and Brian. Richard, as usual, was the overall winner.
Core Space is Coming
It’s all coming apart. The thousand-year galactic accord is crumbling, superstition and fear is replacing science and reason, and a mysterious alien species is burning entire worlds.
Amidst this bedlam are the traders, trying to scrape a living with nothing but their wits and their simple credo to follow:
SALVAGE. TRADE. ADAPT. SURVIVE.
Core Space is a science fiction miniatures board game, launched in 2017 and still going strong. Each player takes control of a band of Traders trying to make a living in a dangerous galaxy, all the while hunted by the Purge, a semi-sentient race of humanoid machines whose sole task is to harvest worlds.
The Lee had the miniatures painted, Lee and Richard based and ID’d the figures and the board is ready to go..
REICH BUSTERS
In this dungeon crawling game, players act as Allied heroes against the nefarious Vrilmeisters and their abominations. Team up and defeat them before it’s too late! Each game starts with the heroes being stealthy. However, the alarm is bound to ring at some point and nazi soldiers and monsters are going to swarm the place. On your turn, perform two basic actions and play any number of hero cards from your hand for a devastating assault. Then the bad guys take their turn… and if you are not quite enough, you will quickly get swarmed.
Reichbusters can be played in a scripted campaign or in Raids, which randomize a faction, an objective, and a map layout for endless fun!
Reichbusters: Projekt Vril is a fast and furious game with lots of weird science, witty one-liners, and heroic moments set during World War II. It is late December 1944 and, on the face of it, history has unfolded as we know it, but that could be about to change.
The Nazis have discovered a source of “vril” that has been brought back to the Reich for study. Vril is a source of energy that can control all types of matter. It can destroy like lightning or replenish life, heal, or cure. It is used to rend through solid matter. Its light is said to be steadier, softer and healthier than that from any flammable material. It can also be used as a power source for animating mechanisms.
If the Nazis work out how to harness this power it will be more potent than the atomic bomb. The secret Nazi experiments are not just a threat to the outcome of the war, but to the entire world. Many different secret bunkers hold all manner of research into the properties of the enigmatic vril and we’re sending you, the Reichbusters, on a mission to stop this research in its tracks!
We have played a couple of raids, as well as, a continuing campaign system. Since the game has survived on the game table for a few weeks, it plays well and is entertaining.
Zombicide – Black Plaque
We have started playing another Kickstarter game that was purchased about 3 year ago produced by CMON games. The figures were painted by Fernando.. We then discovered the expansion box , Wulfsburg, that was forgotten in the storage shed… We will continue exploring this game in the next week or so…
Wild West Exodus – 3-Way Melee
A quick game of Wild West Exodus. Confederate, Lawmen and The Wayward Eight. Lee, as the Lawmen, actually read the fine print (he enlarged the character card to a full page). This enabled the Lawmen to do a much better job of abusing Jim and his Wayward Eight.
