talhoffer78Some good game. lots of variable powers for players to get their heads around.
mentis68Some The game has abstract movement and pre-painted miniatures with tons-of-dice combat resolution. Various standard elements from other games mashed together in a less than completely satisfying manner. They are really counting on the odd pre-painted minis to maintain sales. I ranked this higher for kids than I do for adults, but with repeated play there is nothing unique or superior to offer in this game.
Ed the Red513Yes This has quite a dark theme and some somewhat strange looking miniatures, and would not appeal to all children (or adults). Having said that, if the theme does appeal then a young teenager will probably quite enjoy it. It has the possibility of a fair amount of time spent designing a clever army whose elements work well together which some will enjoy; equally you can simply pick warbands without much thought and have a relatively simple 'bash-em-up'. I would strongly recommend trying before you buy as each set is quite expensive, and it would I think be difficult to predict whether it is someone's cup of tea or not.
