Conan [Monolith Boardgame] - KS over and funded

[hjorhrafn]

Those are some nice maps.  I'm growing more and more interested in this as a game, not just a source of minis. 

[Too Bo Coo]

I think the maps look great, isometric in this type of game feels distorted.  Yes, you get a bit of side view on the pictures, but I think it looks strange.  Since I would be looking from a birdseye view in any event, seeing the maps painted this way feels much better to me. 

It's shaping up to be a very nice project.

So what's the deal...is this a board game or more of a self-contained miniatures game?  I'm a little lost - with the use of maps etc.  Boxed role-playing game?  At first I believed it was a miniatures line...then a board game...now?

It was always billed as a boardgame that uses miniatures.

I believe that the correct definition is "Must buy"

I've been very careful around here to not describe it in those words...  but you are right

I'll just have to tell the misses that you(r words) are to blame when I pledge for this kickstarter

As told in my first post :"a scenario-based semi-cooperative asymmetric miniatures board game"....everything is in this definition.

That sounds a bit too much like the drivel I hear from our government/state department. 

[Elbows]

It's a rugged but sensitive asymmetrical simulation-based tabletop board game which makes use of maps and divergent strategies for cohesive combat syndication.

Duh.

[Eithriall]

Scenario-based : Each game is a scenario and each map can have several scenarios set on it. The game is fast, one hour approximately. It's possible to play several scenarios in a campaign, but you can also play each scenario individually. There will be a dozen playable scenarios in the base box.
Each scenario can have very different objectives and the game usually plays in a limited number of turns.

Miniatures board game : ...sounds clear to me.  

Semi-cooperative means 1 to 4 players are playing Conan and his companions, (Shevatas, Valeria, etc....) and playing together against one only player (the opponent) who leads all the opposition forces (picts, pirates, monsters, etc...).

Asymetrical means that players (the heroes vs the opponent) don't use the same rules of play and don't have the same goals to win.

That pirate is not a very good sculpt.  His right shoulder is very poorly done in particular and the detail is all obviously too shallow to show up in 32mm scale.  Love the look of that Belit Guard.

[Eithriall]

I don't like the 3D computer sculpt too....but the Bêlit soldier is very good. Hope to see the sculpture soon.

Really looking forward to this release
