I have to re-state my first comment:<br />this game is good as my loved Space Crusade. It happens that we always played it wrong: the rulebook is a real mess, and being not native english speaker does not help to catch the "exact wording" needed to build the ruleset in my mind.<br /><br />If someone will read this review, i want to say: buy it, download from BGG some rule summary and some faq, and go spreading bullets.<br />If you can, buy also Fury of the Clansmen (it is another Mutant Chronicles boardgame, but it works much more like Space Crusade): you can combine the two game with very little efforts, and they are both really good games.Parduzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460395318738378361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-88712448978620045032008-01-16T10:14:00.000-08:002008-01-16T10:14:00.000-08:00I haven't played this in a long time - I bought it...I haven't played this in a long time - I bought it new at Toys R Us and played it a bunch. I never got a full group to play the campaign mode, but I have always wanted to. There is just so much depth to this simple game.Pete Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12661558105341125897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-11036904722823805022007-12-09T19:04:00.000-08:002007-12-09T19:04:00.000-08:00another great review, it sounds really fun, but th...another great review, it sounds really fun, but that 5 player things sounds way to hard for me to get a constant 4 others to commit.

In the meanwhile, i've managed to recreate it with paper figures, game images and some thing drawn by me.<BR/><BR/>So finally i've played it... and i think that it's not good as the father of all these games: Space Crusade (or StarQuest in some EU places).<BR/><BR/>Siege Of The Citadel tries to be different, but it lacks of... frenzy. <BR/>I never felt "under pressure" as in SC, and it is a bit more slow.<BR/>It's a shame, 'cause I loved the Mutant Chronicles theme (and i own the CCG game and the full 3D Warzone).<BR/><BR/>So i will say that, for the same money, i will go to buy Space Crusade. <BR/>Or, as i've done right now, buy the last box of Hybrid (a Rackham game tied to the Confrontation universe).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
