Is that basically just a more advanced version of this?

In my opinion, Battlecars >> Dark Future >> Car Wars - at least from the 80s/90s when I was playing them.

Dark Future is the only one I played. I traded it for BloodBowl and tbh, I definitely got the better of the deal!

Having never played either, I cannot say.

I like the look of new Car Wars; car design is has moved from “hours with a spreadsheet” to “construct a deck out of component cards”. Alas, the game is designed for American-sized houses.

Blood Bowl was another mess of a mash-up for me and our group: we’d rather have just played Statis Pro Football if we wanted the strategy and tactics of American Football - or Warhammer if we wanted a scrap between fantasy armies.

Blood Bowl before the edition with turnover rules was awful - and that was the only edition I knew at the time. The game it became is pretty good.

It was the 2nd edition that I got - not sure when the turnover rules came in but pretty sure it was that issue.

Edit: it wasn’t, it was 3rd edition that had the turnover rule. Maybe I had the 3rd edition then?

Well this is a new standard for ‘could do with being a little larger’. Cute art though.

Bought Kingdom Builder in my quest for ‘under one hour, works with two’ games.

Youngest wants to play more games, and most games I have are terrible with two

Thanks to @lalunaverde I will now be able to play Nokosu Dice :slight_smile:
It’s a French copy of Parade–the German version is ugly ugly–and a dice set.

This looks like the American version too. I made my parents-in-law get it for me for Christmas once because they have easy access and the German version is a joke made by some intern in the early 90s.

That reminds me - I need to buy another copy of this. Left mine in Italy last year! :frowning:

I still love Parade but now I have Piepmatz which does similar things but IMO better.
