I had a really fun game against a LawDog deck. I wish I had taken notes, because the game came down to maneuvering and I am wracking my brain trying to remember how I managed to put my opponent in a position that allowed me to force him into some terrible gun fights. Slaughtering Dave Montreal with Pinned Down was also a highlight.

Jonas Albrecht posted:What went wrong? Everything. I was playing it out of a Morgan economy deck on the principle that attrition would be effective with an economy behind it. And it almost won me one game if I hadn't been a single ghost rock short. Most of the time though, it was just too expensive in terms of tempo and money to both play and use the force field (having to boot to invent a gadget is brutal). Better to just play dudes-n-deeds I think.

Something that is becoming apparent in our games, Steven Wiles is really, really good. Unless there is a conflict with dudes sharing his number or him just not working for your draw hands I think he will be at least a 3x in most if not all decks. The ability to have a 3 Stud out of nowhere is strong, he is also couple "free" casualties and is on par with Rumors for randomly winning the game.

He is definitely one of those cards that look useless to the newbies, but are surprisingly good. Just like the Drifter from the original game.

Yeah I think he even has the same stats as The Drifter did. I'm not sure about a 3 of, but he is really good

Question: Does the 'Abomination' keyword hold any new abilities or benefits, or is it just a big flashing target like it used to be in the original CCG?

The deck builder is a little clunky but its a good start. Also I'm really happy that they are giving shout outs to the community sites and OCTGN, another example of AEG doing it right.

My biggest complaint is that you can't mark Starting Dudes, making the draw simulator iffy. Also, found this stellar art for a future unknown card.  Holy crap this game's art.

I had a chance to try this out at a LFGS before heading to work today and, truth be told, I didn't like it. I got in two games with the Law Dogs vs Sloans Gang using the starter decks and "recommended" starting characters for both factions. Both games I lost in the second turn. Part of the problem I had was that the Law Dogs had no real economy to speak of at the start (3 whole ghost rock and only 2 more a turn? Sign me up) combined with no money-making deeds the first game and one of my two money-making deeds costing 5 or 6 ghost rock to play. The other part was the Sloan player got a first-turn shotgun in the first game and proceeded to wipe me out turn two, and in the second game between having control points on 3 characters, control of two locations and picking off the one person I played with kidnapping and killing two more of my characters when I tried to kill the one person to control his property. Overall it left a sour taste in my mouth and I'm going to pass on the game. I'll play it when other people want to and use someone's pre-made deck, but it's not a must-buy for me, nor something I'll ask to play. I know after the fact that it's an area control game, and that you should avoid fights whenever possible, but it's hard to when one deck has a "tap: kill a character in this shootout" and several "pick a character. That character dies" cards.

Just to be clear the Shotgun compares your dude's bullets (generally 1-3 base) against their value (Ace to King). It's good for blowing up small dudes but it's generally possible to play around. The closest a card comes to just killing a dude is Legendary Holster which pretty much requires building your deck around. Not going to disagree that Sloan early aggression is very strong, at last right now I think it is the most powerful archetype. Kidnapping aside generally you are going to need to start guys with good influence and keep them at home while you set up deeds, if you can force Sloan to spread out and leave the town square they lose a lot of power. Also I don't know what the normal starting lineup is but if you do play again start with Wendy, her printed shootout action is really strong and goes along way to giving you an edge in an early shoot out should one happen.

Because he played it on the person I just played and the person demoing didn't say a word. Ditto the shotgun (though that may have been on a 4- or less character anyways. The law dog with 1 stud bullet and increases the value of your hand if your opponent cheats). The other thing that bugged me was that the Law Dog home ability isn't that good against the Sloans when they want to be wanted, though I'm assuming that's more of a multiplayer mechanic.

Jobs can still target dudes at home. Shotgun too. I agree that LawDogs need more cards that let them screw with Wanted characters right now.

Yeah, Tommy is squishy so a shotgun can easily end him. Kidnapping can target people at home which is one of the reasons it's so powerful, however if you keep your guys at home early not only does it protect them from being called out normally against a Kidnapping or Ambush it allows you to defend with everyone. Even if they have a little bit of an edge in a fight you have the advantage of being able to put the target in the defending posse and discard or ace him as a causality if you do happen to lose. The general consensus in our play group is Sloan and Morgan are currently the best, Forth Ring is cool and ok, and Law Dogs are pretty weak. Right now making people wanted just doesn't seem to have enough support to make it worth the effort, I'm sure in future expansions that will be fixed but it sucks for now. The only real advantage Law Dogs have right now is the fact they can start with Wendy, the only dude with an ability that can straight up remove a dude from the shootout.

So, went to Orycon (mostly to help my buddy sell some stuff in the dealer's room), got a first hand look at Reloaded and it reminded me how much I loved the game in theory, but that the collectible format drove me up the wall while the Box + Saddlebags most likely won't. However, much like the original, I didn't get much past the usual "make fun decks, play with a few friends, still be mildly confused about all but the most basic synergies". I played the beginner Law Dogs deck, and while I made at least one big mistake (didn't wait to be the Winner to start the big showdown, given that my opponent had a shotgun but I had a way of dropping his bullets), I didn't feel like I had much of an idea other than the basics.
