FEROX Review

Read more...

Perfect review. It's a really cool theme and a very slick design. It truly feels like a group of people slowly being whittled down by the natives.

As in the Let's Talk thread, my only bitch is that the card distribution is such that you can have shit luck and get very few attack cards, which markedly increases the playtime and decreases the enjoyment.

Other than that, it's bad ass.

Great review. Itching to get this one back out.

Thank you so much, Doc! And that glitchy VHS graphic you made is ridiculously badass.

Great write up bud, I enjoyed the one play I had with you a great deal. I especially loved that Rage mechanic and the game felt pretty smooth all the way through. At one point it seemed to drag for a bit, but I bet if we played a few times not only would it speed up, but we'd probably find a small variant change that worked perfect for us. There's enough extra stuff in that box that you could easily tailor the game to your own desires.

Today I Learned: The Natives' dice have different distributions of symbols. I never even bothered to look. LMAO

Heck yeah. Yellow is where it's at.

Yeah, the first thing on our list of Things to Fix for the next edition is including the dice odds on each Tribe's card. They're printed in the rulebook if you need to reference it, but they should definitely be on the cards.

The Green ones are fucking cowards when I use them but seemingly attack 75% of the time for The Nephew.
The rule book has a little write up for each Tribe which adds another layer of character and narrative to the game.

I'm a fan of the great stellar philosopher who said, "Never Tell Me the Odds", but I can see some gamers needing that.

My copy arrived today!
Looking forward to getting it on the table.

Mine turned up yesterday. Yep it is adorable. One thing I can't work out is why the native player shouldn't just commit all natives to each Encounter.

My thought would be losing your big hitters early in the game could be a factor as the game went on as they would be the primary focus of attacks.

There are less heavy hitters compared to the lighter ones. That's my guess, I've never tried to throw them all out there.

Try it and let us know.

I would imagine losing all Red or Yellow would be terrible.

Also If you throw out just enough to be able to roll max dice with say Green or Blue, you incentivize your opponent attacking those colors so that your rolling is left efficient.

I'm with Frank, after consideration. Putting all your peeps out has virtually no negative consequence, but creates a situation where you can always attack with your best guys.
