I've fallen complete...@ Matt - spot on review. I've fallen completely in love with this game. The only issue I take with it - it's a CCG (I agree with you - I don't buy this LCG rhetoric!). I just don't have the time and money to expand it. I've owned the base set for about a year and have played it probably a dozen times with my friends (my wife hates it), so it won't get the dollar value out of it that, say, buying another $50 Euro-game that my wife will love and play a ton with me will. Pure economics on a limited budget.<br /><br />On another note - have you played the new Lord of the Rings CCG? I played it 5 times with a friend who owned it and then immediately went out the same day and bought a copy. It's a pure blast - I really recommend it.<br /><br />@ Anonymous - I've actually played the L5R CCG, and it was...ok. As a long time Magic: The Gathering player, I liked it better than MtG, but A Game of Thrones, Warhammer Invasion - both better.chrismcfaddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00966447146225342426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-54446630746036326662011-04-28T20:46:34.959-07:002011-04-28T20:46:34.959-07:00Yes, JC, I think Warhammer Invasion is a lot easie...Yes, JC, I think Warhammer Invasion is a lot easier to play than Game of Thrones.<br /><br />I'll check out The Spoils, and L5R when AEG makes that board game/card game combo thing out of it.Matt Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293720777403743376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-34153280421211800732011-04-28T17:57:28.418-07:002011-04-28T17:57:28.418-07:00If I understand correctly, for a beginner with his...If I understand correctly, for a beginner with his wife, it might be better to start with Warhammer Invasion?Jean-Christophe Gareauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03504732748432069767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-82763863086544682352011-04-26T08:29:57.740-07:002011-04-26T08:29:57.740-07:00Legend of the Five Rings.

It's like the troupe of Monte Python decided to fix Magic and succeeded. Given your writing style and sense of humor I think it would be a great fit for you.<br /><br />It's fun, flexible and cheap. Definitely my favorite CCG/TCG.ThePatzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279453690922960066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-34686912187542490252011-04-25T19:12:48.532-07:002011-04-25T19:12:48.532-07:00Glad you enjoyed it.

We'd have 5-6 player game nights and they'd get so heated that when all was said and done, there'd always be this awkward silence as we cleaned up the table. Good times!Johnnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09549756700299611232noreply@blogger.com
