Players are encouraged to fight often, and defense is drastically under-emphasized. This is in the game's favor, allowing for something that pushes forward relentlessly and powers through with almost no mess. Definitely one of the great conflict games. ]]> Mon, 22 Apr 2019 02:24:17 +0000 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=1349 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=1349 ]]> Fri, 19 Apr 2019 20:34:05 +0000 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=1221 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=1221 ]]> Fri, 19 Apr 2019 16:45:08 +0000 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=1048 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=1048 Love this game, but it's not something I always want to play. Maybe I'm a bit burnt out on it. ]]> Thu, 18 Apr 2019 18:31:31 +0000 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=1038 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=1038 ]]> Thu, 18 Apr 2019 18:22:56 +0000 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=320 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=320 Really, Nexus Ops is a great example of a classic style game "modernized" and cleaned up into light gaming perfection. It's got a tiered combat system like Shogun/Samurai Swords. You've got the whole building troops/collecting resources, feels a lot like Warcraft or something similar. Instead of turtling, you've got two motivators to get out there and kill some bugs--one, your mission cards almost always award you points for doing some smashing, and two, the "Monolith" in the middle of the field grants POWERFUL cards to he who controls it. Let someone sit on the Monolity uncontested for a few turns and I assure you the game will conclude not long after. Great bits, tons of combat, awesome card play, and all this for a four-player light wargaming smash-em-up that takes 90 minutes to play. You simply can't beat it. For $20 or less you'd be foolish not to have a copy of this. It's a touch too light in places, and you're sometimes going to want something heavier, so I can't go the full 6. But this is certainly one of the great Ameritrash games. BUY IT. ]]> Wed, 12 Nov 2008 14:08:53 +0000 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=239 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=239 This is a great game, period. It also happens to be a fun, easy to learn and quite engaging game which is a blast to play and can serve as a great introduction to AT. Just get it and play it, I've heard great things of the 2 vs 2. Anyways, the secret missions add to the replayability and this just oozes theme, it's a game that's asking for a good fight, so go ahead and make it's day punk! ]]> Mon, 22 Sep 2008 19:31:39 +0000 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=228 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=228 Fast area control game that is easy to learn. Most people in my game group circles have burned out on Nexus Ops, but a great game to have in your collection. ]]> Sat, 20 Sep 2008 03:02:10 +0000 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=212 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=212 This is such a pretty game. The little bits are so cool. The game plays nicely too--the mechanisms for recovery are well done. It has enough subtlety for le gameur, while also rewarding those of us that like to roll dice and punch space spiders in the face. ]]> Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:36:28 +0000 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=72 https://therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=72 Can't see how you could want much more from a light conflict game - who cares if it's a tad unoriginal when it beats the opposition in this category into the dust? Fast, fun and with a surprising amount of difficult tactical choices thanks to the card-based VP system. Scales fairly well too. It is a bit on the lightweight side though, and starts to feel samey after repeated plays. ]]> Fri, 01 Aug 2008 04:11:28 +0000
