We sat down to talk about the game that intrigued us a little while back on the Weekender, WarTime, with WizKids.
This game has you playing quick and frantic games simulating the chaos and flurry of battle. It certainly sounds like a different way of playing. What do you think of the look of the game and the premise?
As well as WarTime we get a little chat about some of the other games they have here right now you might want to go and take a closer look at.
wartime looks very cool
Interesting concept not sure if it’ll be fun in practice.
Ben lost your audio.
Ben pick it up for me please. the cheque is in the post.
I hadn’t even heard there was a Tomb of Annihilation board game, good find. War Time reminds me of a Moba and ability cool downs, could be interesting. Dungeon Hustle sounds very fun.
Not my idea of something I’d like to play but glad to see people trying to innovate game-play.
Wartime is one of the games that has me really interested, hope to get my hands on a copy sometime soon. I also will def be picking up Tomb of Annihilation as I love all those d&d games. I think I might go for a painted version if I can find one and it looks ok.
Novel mechanic seems a little frantic for my taste. I enjoy a good banter during my games. I reckon all the sand timers would have run out before any of us were ready to activate. That said I do think this system would lend itself well to a single combat game.
Sounds like a cool quick game.
ZEV! Long time man! Looks cool.
A lot of different sounding mechanics there. I think I’m going to have to pick up a copy of Wartime I do like the look and sound of it.
interesting way of doing things
Very different. Can see lots of arguments if timers are running out around the same time and lots of knocking over if timers if your stretching across the board
Those are some very clever mechanics!
This game is going to cause many arguments.
Hectic! Sounds like it would be a fun challenge and something different to try…
When I first heard about war time I thought it was going to be pure chaos but i’m now interested, yet another game for the watch list
I’m not sure what I think of this. I’m putting this in the try first, but very interesting.
Not sure about Wartime. Intrigued me though.
I think Wartime would be great for that guy in everyone’s gaming group that Analysis Paralysis’s all the time. I think the first 2 or 3 games would be confusing,but after that it would be pretty cool.
That actually looked really good!
Sand timers never work, they clog or just aren’t accurate, why not go digital timers?
I like the cooldown element of that game but I can’t help but think is going to break pretty quickly when everyones hand are in the way at the same time or timers get knocked over.
sound lik very interesting game
Wartaime sound very very interesting! No time to think for hours for your opponent (or yourself…).
The Witching Hour sounds good, too.
