I admit that these had my interest when I first saw some details on these: mostly because of the short play time. When my portion of the world starts to return to a place where I can game in person with people, the idea of diet Killteam (the game I play(ed) with widest array of people) is a good proposition as we work on getting back to full capacity.

I suppose the reservation I have is if any of these are going to turn into another expanding game format or will they be something self contained I can buy, build and put on the shelf to pull down whenever we have an hour to fill and we want to get our gaming fix.

I’ll certainly be watching for more details.

Blitzbowl and the other games were avalaible in North America, Canada and Germany. So they were not USA only.

These games do look interesting, Gorechoosen and Combat Arena were fun and Blitzbowl is said to be good too.

It was interesting to hear people’s reactions to this on CoG radio tonight to these. I suppose as a relative newcomer to the hobby (about 3 years all told, two years playing with GeeDubs) I have never seen the previous iterations that people have been referencing so don’t really see these as a retread of something with little substance.

Perhaps that is there purpose? To be “The Producers” of the GW line up. So cheap that it can’t fail and is designed to appeal to people who’ve never seen it before and it can then bomb out before they move onto another one of half a decade.

Perhaps turns my off the prospect slightly or maybe I’m bring cynical but I think all here will agree that GW is a company first and into the hobby second. I don’t know, it’s made me quite introspective about it and unsure how I feel without getting more info on what is in the boxes and how the games will play.
