I got basic Mythic Battles on ebay because my son likes the mythology and is a fan of 2 player battling games. I don’t have a lot to compare it to as my experience with skirmish games is limited but it does some interesting and fun things.
-.- I hope yours arrive soon as well. Mine took about two weeks from arrival in port. Obviously the country is a lot smaller so once they got customs sorted it was “get notification and game arrives 2 days later” which I know will not be the case in the US.
I’m actually waiting on a book I kickstarted too, and it’s stuck at the port in England and has been for the last 2 weeks. Holidays, canals and pandemics have made it an awful time to be waiting on a shipping company.
Not to mention the horror stories I’ve heard about VAT on UK shipments. Sigh.
Not having the expansion in the box does not create awkward voids or anything. It would work perfectly well. The base game is so overproduced that you’d end up with a box that big anyway. Not having the expansion fit into the box would be a bigger pain for those who bought it.
The biggest pain is that the molded/deluxe goods don’t fit as well as the standard goods tokens. And they’re a bit ugly.
I’m of the opinion that I need to buy some cubes of different colors to replace the stock tokens. That seems more usable than either the chits or the upgraded bits.
It’s a shame cubes weren’t the default option (but then they might not sell many deluxe kits?)
I’m very sympathetic to color-blindness issues, so I appreciate printed tokens over cubes that are only differentiated by color. If they offered cubes as an add-on, I think they’d be laughed off Kickstarter.
If someone has a lot of train games, it kinda makes sense.
Hilarious that you can just order a single set. Can imagine someone having ‘their’ set that they take to all their friends games. Everyone else has cubes, and one player with ultra fancy trains
There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY they got permission to blatantly put Winona Ryder and Vincent Price in this game, let alone all the Coppola’s Dracula reference art.
