Excellent review today. Sounds a lot like the Oath review, except that I do think Oath is doing some things that other games in its genre don't do which potentially justifies the complexity if you're committed!

Great review. I do love the "wizard battle" genre. But I already own all of Wiz-War and don't get to play it nearly enough.
Will one of these ever come along and actually be better than Wiz-War? I doubt it.

I mean, there was the one that gave you huge spellbooks of cards if you wanted a super complicated version of mages fighting but the name escapes me. It's a crowded space.

I think you are talking about Mage Wars ( I never played it), but there was also Codex. Codex is more deckbuilder Magic the Gathering... I think to compete with Wiz-War you need a board and figures.

I think your last paragraph was the most accurate, this went down well from the European LMS as did their recent KS Nova Aeta; Renaissance (I nearly backed but already had their Sine Tempore which is the same game in space). These new European companies, including Awaken Realms and a few others, are doing something different and big in scale and content and have a dedicated and large following. Perhaps it's a Europe v US taste difference or maybe simply just not your taste (as you mentioned).

Thanks for the good read MB. I'll admire BRW from afar.
NOTE: Regarding another post; I totally clicked on this review because Michael wrote it. I've been reading Michael's reviews for fifteen years. I didn't even know Black Rose Wars existed.
