In the four years since Warcry released, Games Workshop has teased us with about two new Chaos Dwarf models and (unsurprisingly) has yet to produce full rules for Dawi-Zharr warbands. I have finally... Pitch Car is like golf. You can stink up an entire game, but attain legendary status by that one crazy roller that turns two corners, runs down the straightaway and then lands right-side up.

My recorded win rate in marvel champions is about 65%, which feels about right. More than anything I want wins to feel hard fought and losses to have felt winnable up until we got crushed, whatever... I have two basic sets, two Expansion 2s and one Expansion 5. A LOT of pieces, in various states of repair. But that's Pitch Car. There's no promise of everything being clean and fair and dependable. Half the fun is dealing with trouble. Playing Inscryption, but the goddamn Angler boss (the second boss) has beaten me so many times, I'm losing interest. His bullshit tactics are decidedly unfun. charlest wrote: 2. The official way to figure out who starts where requires a time trial which is so damn terrible when playing with a lot of people (basically you have to watch others complete a full lap one at a time just to seed starting positions)Wait . . . it comes with rules? I should look for those.It's been many years since I read the Hyperion/Endymion books, so time for a re-read this winter. Simmons was doing a science-fiction Canterbury Tales, but brought lots of bold ideas to the table. I...

You need rules, just not THE rules. You could set Pitch Car down in front of a couple of three year olds and they'd have it up and running in about ten minutes. That's the beauty of the game. How you play is intuitive, and anything that gets in the way of that is to be set aside. (The other game that I think does this is Sputnik, but I'm not sure how many others here have even played it.) The components provide all you need to establish free-form play, adjust rules to taste. My point was that the time trial was a flaw. It seemed like you were arguing it's not a flaw, and to simply ignore it. Having to ignore rules of a game is exhibitive of a flaw in my opinion. Curious timing on this one, as the Mid-Atlantic Gaming Extravaganza (slots still open!) is coming up and my buddy Chris explicitly asked me to bring my Pitch Car just this past Monday. Last Year I didn't bring it because I didn't want to lug it and I was the dog of the week. It stays set up on one end of the table and people are adjusting it all weekend long. It gets heavy usage between other games. edit) 10 50 - 1000 1000 1000 1 1,000 coins 1 coin - 111 90 infobox-cell-shown infobox-cell-shown reclaimable always 1000 30377802 -1 15565085 100 30377 -1 15565 Reclaimable
