I've never played this with more than 2 so I'm interested in how it works out with more.

That's a pretty crazy ruins to draw two hexes from the portal.

I've never liked training much but I guess it might be good if you can get it on the very first turn.

Blood rage is a really good action for Arythea.

Stelas I have to say this is running very smoothly, I'm regretting not signing up now!

I pretty much take gold dick's flight over anything else I get with him, it helps out a ton.

Same with polarity for Arythea. That kind of flexibility is invaluable.

Does Tovak have a key ability? I don't play him much.

Medusa seems like a pretty good draw there, anything else would have required wounds or playing cards sideways right?

Crystal Mastery is one of the most fun cards in the game, nothing like powering your entire hand with a stack of regenerating crystals.

Yep. Roadblock, the most boring orc. Won't even give you a level up :argh:

ive been kibitzing this thread and loving the game. It's moving very fast. I have a quick question.

Was the point of the earlier mulligans offer that Tovak could have explored to the south east rather than running all the way up north to hang with the others? Is that what you mean Stelas by a five wide board? Tovak could have explored down there and had a whole section of the board to himself with cards to play.

Cheers,

Exactly.

As far as I can tell Tovak also built up 10 movement points (including 3 sideways cards) and only used 8 of them. That whole turn was just a bit weird.

IRL I'd probably let someone swap Stamina and March even though technically revealing the tile prevents take-backs. Mana Draw works too though.

I'd have bet on Swiftness powered by the Will Focus Goldyx prepared earlier.. but drawing two cards first makes me wonder if he was looking for it. Crushing Bolt would also work, it'd be pretty unlikely not to have one of those.

Resting is a full-round thing; you can't do it and something else, even if that something else doesn't grant you a move or an action. That said the NE is good to go, so you head there instead.

Actually you're allowed to play special effects like Ruby Ring. "A Players Turn", 6b: Before or after you Rest for the turn, you may play any number of Healing and Special effects.

Resting prevents moving or taking actions. Looking at the turn summary it even seems like you're allowed to use a mana dice from the source (e.g. to power a special or healing effect) but I'm not sure if that's true.

Arythea drawing the Lonely Mountain tile has made things interesting. Tovak might not be in a bad spot at all if a city comes up now.

It's 4 city/3 non-city core tiles in a 4 player game right? All level 4?

I'm going to flip flight and flip white crystal craft, attacking the mage tower to the NE.

I don't think this is a legal move - Flight movement has to end on a safe space.

drat, that's not nothing. But I'm kinda thinking we've made it to the point of 'board is play'.

Goldyx had 2 more cards and a bunch of crystals, if one of those cards was a move card it'd be pretty simple to retrospectively power it instead of using flight.

Otherwise yeah, chalk it up as a mistake.

Yeah I'm not to worried about blocking ice man if it came down to it. But knowing my luck with card draws so far I'd only have enough to either block OR kill, and since you dont get xp for blocking I'd have to take a bunch of wounds to the face.AGAIN.

That's not even considering his friends afterwards who I'm pretty sure I cant just ignore since they are all defending as well so I'd probably end up getting knocked out.

You'd get petrified if you didn't block the freezers and wouldn't be doing much of anything regardless!

I don't know if I'd call it dumb, really � you use ice to block fire, which seems consistent with every elemental-based RPG ever. It's more the wording that is� inconsistent, I suppose I'd call it.

Yeah, Ice Resistance is being Resistant To Ice Damage and maybe should have been worded that way. Ice Block is using ice to block, not a block for ice.

Sneaky minotaurs and their golem costumes.

edit: Actually this is one rule i'm not 100% on - when your reward is two artifacts, do you do the "take top 2, pick 1" thing twice or do you take 2 of the top 3 artifacts?

Having watched you run this one I'd really like to participate in a Volkare scenario if possible. Fancy running a 6-player game?
