Yet another Frostgrave review

[Pijlie]

Recently I sank a lot of money in the Kickstarters for Monolith Games Conan and CMON Zombicide: Black Plague. The two games combined will give me an instant collection of fantasy figures (some 500 in fact) so one can imagine me, pondering the consequences of these decisions, getting slightly worried what to do with them all...



And then Osprey released Frostgrave; a 65-page ruleset for Fantasy skirmish wargaming and I knew the Stars Had Been Right. I read numerous good reviews and gaming reports about it and eventually ordered the booklet.

What’s this then? See here:

Nice review but no mention of the artwork? I think the artist did a splendid job of bringing Frostgrave to the page.

Not to be rude to the artist, but I am into games kinda because of the games, not the artwork. Which is admittedly VERY good.

But in a game review, this "While appearances may be deceiving, this book’s are very pleasant. It is the standard Osprey format (a large A5) but hardcover and full color." is usually about my maximum quantity of text regarding the game's looks. It leaves more room for talking about the game  

[EDIT] as a compromise I addes an example picture of a book spread.

Very informative review. Good job.

Your idea of time/turns limit is very interesting !
