I stole a few of your pictures, Mason, hope you don't mind. I did give you credit, though.

Good review of Strange Aeons, you obviously love the game and it comes across that way.

Not too sure what you mean by 'American gamer' opposed to 'Euro gamer' as I cannot see any difference really, we are all of us, deep down, just gamers. 

As for the pictures: Thats fine, mate.

Unless you're into the "board game scene" it probably sounds weird. There's three main categories of board games:
Ameritrash (American-style) which are games like Axis and Allies, Heroscape, Arkham Horror, and so on. Games with dice.
Euro Games: Games like Settlers of Catan, Agricola, Puerto Rico. Mostly dice-free, games of "wit" with little to no luck.
Abstracts: Chess, Mancala, and the like.

Yea, nice to see some of mine also floating there...

I only took the sexiest ones, Styx.  That one was on the SA website..

Thanks for the great review! I've always said it about myself but it is great to hear someone else say "Uncle Mike doesn't f#@k around'. I may quote you on that in the future.

I think this is the review that pushes me over the edge. I really want to try this out now, even though my mini painting skills are minimal. Great review, thanks.

@Mike: Don't be surprised if you start receiving requests for review copies and whatnot, because I have a very wide audience. On my site alone that article has had 412 hits since publication, and it's on boardgamegeek.com (people tend to hate me there because I really like to piss those people off)  as well as on FortressAT.com, which is the second most watched board game site.

In a week or so, you'll see it on GMS Magazine's website (they publish my stuff) and more likely than not many other aggregators (read: content thieves) will reprint it. That GMS Magazine bit should help you a lot because they have a ~huge~ following in the UK, where grown men playing with toys is still socially acceptable.

Add me to the list of people who hasn't put paint to a miniature in over 15 years...until this  review was found. I was doing some research on a different boardgame when i found superfly's site, and then the infamous strange aeons review.

Within 3 weeks I've got the starter minis bundle, and just got my rules bundle in the mail yesterday. Even spent most of this weekend working on a terrain board.

uh...hello everyone!

Mason, your work has certainly fueled my enthusiasm as well...

FYI, SuperFly's excellent review introduced me to the game and helped in my decision to pick it up!

The system is far more versatile than I think people give it credit for. There's nothing to really stop a person from using it to play Weird WW2 stuff, or straight up squad-based military games. Victorian horror wouldn't be out of the realms of possibility either.
