As maybe everyone already knows and as I recently stated in the news, there will be a new game in late spring 2007. Its from
Fantasy Flight Games, a very successful company, which developed so wonderful board games like
Arkham Horrors,
Descent or
Runebound, but also
Warcraft- the Boardgame or
Doom- the Boardgame. Now they got an eye on Mutant Chronicles. I suppose their offer to
Paradox was the reason why
Excelsior Entertainment lost their license on
Warzone.
Now they develop a collectible miniature game. And this is already one point, where I feel like being ripped off. Another game, where I should spend hundreds and hundreds of €uros, just to have exactly the minis I want. For anybody who doesnt know: a collectible miniature game is a system, where you buy boxes without knowing exactly whats inside. In every box they fill in a good mixture of different minis, but always in a sure percentage. There will be common, uncommon, rare and very rare items (the distribution is normally 8:4:2:1). So, if you want to have this one specific very rare mini, you will have to buy a hugh amount of boxes, because it will be sheer luck, if the mini you want is inside or not. And additionally, which makes things even worse, all minis from the different corporations are all mixed up in one box - so you will get lots of minis, which you never wanted or plan to play with. The only help is to exchange them with other players. But I suppose there wont be so many players. To be honest, I am
NOT happy about this game and I still dont know if I will even buy it.
