Hope to see more videos
I tried the How to played guide in my first game, and I think it works very well. Great job!
I was missing these kind of intro videos from CB. Not only for me to learn, but also for me to teach others following the same video indications.
I love Tom Schadle voice, it would be nice to have Kip in the ship, I actually get better the rules from English videos than Spanish one
i watch Ash and Owen play Aristeia on you-tube :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcTkd-0Hsfo
I found it Awesome for a board game. it just hard to follow when each player bring there own dice instead of having one dice pool that each roll from
Nice play video. Wish other companies would do the same. Only thing I would change is that I believe the speaker was going way to fast. I would have slowed it down a bit but otherwise this was well done.
Hope we will get a video where Carlos and Killian will have a go at each other. 😉
I’m quite sure we will after all the battle reports between Killian and Carlos are the best parts of all Infinity weeks.
I play infinity and really like Corvus bellis visual style but I’m not so keen on the high depth of infinity so I wasn’t sure about aristeia when I first saw it. but the themed week is really showing that the game is streamlined and I’m now very tempted.
Good video, looking forward to a demo.
Nice video but I have already seen it, I hope we will get the battle report soon.
nicely done, well done Tom
The rules seem simple enough to be a crossover game for my wife.
Great video, it certainly seems we could be playing it the second it arrives.
clean video i love these from CB.
and with plastic minis people are going to be jumping right into this game, good stuff!
Rules reference book, simple easy and always handy!
MMM infinity miniatures in a less complicated game whats not to love
It’s so amazing to see the Infinity games ecosystem growing! I’ve been supporter of the Infinity RPG since the beginning and now I’m waiting for all the pdfs with the tasty fluff 🙂
Aristeia looks like a great product to, would be nice to have in my board games collection to play with my buddies.
This is great! Now I am even more chomping at the bit to try this game out.
I am so sold on this game! Excited to get it and teach my housemates how to play.
This looks really fast paced. I can see some really fast paced Aristea tournaments in the bear future 🙂
This does look like fun!
Love that you’re doing this. Can’t wait to start playing!
Good video.
Love the simplicity of game play. Well done.
Now I know how to play, I just need the game!!! 🙂
Great stuff, and not with out some entertainment value
Good support. And I still love the artwork.
Awesome instructional video, very well done!
What is hype may never die.
This is definitely an easier game to manage, compared to Infinity.
Hi Tom!
Very easy to follow tutorial
Having the scoring zones change throughout the game seem like a good way to keep the rest of the arena important. At first it seemed like all the action would be taking place in the center of the arena, making the rest of the board useless.
This game looks straight forward and fun.
I like how easy it seems to pick up… That said, there’s no replacing actually playing the game to get a better feel for it… I kinda felt that way with Infinity itself too… Read all the rules, but it wasn’t until I got a few games in that the intricacies sunk in…
Awesome production value on the video. Really drives home how simple the game is to play
Looks nice.
Great learn to play video .really wanting to play this now
Always nice to see new stuff from Corvus Belli
I’ve always loved Infinity’s figures and lore, but found the rules a bit too much for me 😀 This game looks like it plays fast while still having a lot of depth. Now I’m sorely tempted!
Great how to play video, the game looks quite simple to learn, but the complexity looks to come from the synergies and deck building.
Nice video.
But no news!
I almost got the feeling I could play Aristeia right now 😉
I really like those “How to play” videos from CB.
Looks great…sadly I spent my funds for this style game on Shadespire (which is a great game and I love playing it)
The rules seem simple enough, I would like to see some of the missions played.
I love the simplicity yet I am hoping for much more depth to the game play through the cards and/or synergies with other models
Very nice video. Looking forward to trying this out.
Simple base rules with enough variability and combinations to really need to think about how to out-match your opponent. Niiiiiiiiiiiice!!
Sounds interesting.
Thanks for the tutorial!
Looks easy to get into!
Once again enjoying the vids with Carlos.
Very tempted by this game, wanted to get into infinity for a while, but had attention grabbed by my group of friends getting into Blood Bowl, Shadespire and soon Necromunda.
I think this might be a good option since I can just buy enough for us to play so no one else has to spend to get involved.
Apologies if I’ve missed it but are there plans to have rules for more players?
Really nice. I like how this plays.
Comment to win?! Yes please I would love to get my hands on this!
Simple but engaging, and the combo potential is great! Would love to see some more combos with regard to specific tactics and switches.
See you at the hexadome! 🙂
Amazing!
Looks like there is a lot of tactical depth. Beyond just deck building – the deck will be an important element, but choices on the board are key.
One small bugbear – the colour choices are awful for people with the most common forms of colour deficiency.
I can see they have gone some way to compensate for this by labelling the symbols for the dice types, but a better approach would have been to use different colours.
In particular, lots of people, myself included, will be unable to distinguish between the green and red used to signify attacks/buffs. And the same applies to the orange and green used for the teams, and the dice.
This seems like a simple rules game but with lots of tactical depth; really interested and dying to get a game.
Good job.
Looks sweet. Can not wait to try it out with the wife
Can’t wait to see what they add next.
Wait, its a sportsball mini game without a ball???
I will not miss any of it @dignity!
brilliant! Love the fact that we can pick up the entire game from a short video
That was a good training video. It might have gotten a little fast in some places, at the dice roll resolutions, but other than that it was very easy to follow. I would like to have seen the actual dice in the resolution to see where the results came from.
It seems like it’s too easy to deal damage but I guess we’ll see how the game flows in the demo.
Good vid! Nicely done! I think I’m gonna go for this! Step 1: Buy starter box set. Step 2: Paint 8 figures. Step 3: Enjoy………… Much better than Step 1: Steal underpants. Step 2: ….. Step 3: Profit!
Rules look super simple and easy! Definitely a fan of it!
Nice gameplay video, I’ll have to watch this a couple of times to fully get a grasp on these rules. Carlos shows a thin rule book as the rules and the basic principles might be simple enough, but the tactical depth and various special rules of each character will take some time to master. So what might look simple is not so simple in the end, definitely got my attention.
These are great ideas!
Looks like a lot of fun.
Reminds me of Wyrds puppet war a bit
Only just got into playing Infinity not that long ago. The operation box set missions really helped me over the learning curve of the rules (up to a point) but still found it quite complex, and I consider myself someone who quite likes crunchy rules. This really looks very simple and streamlined, and beautiful miniatures as always. Exciting stuff!
Looks good
Looks great
8-Ball, I think, has a stoner-voice but ultra deep. His abilities and look suggest it so hard!
This looks like a superb game
Seems simple enough. I can’t wait to get my first game in 😀
This was cool 🙂
This game totally rox!
This was great!
Aristeia is cool!
I wish it had Tom’s song at the beginning.
OK that looks really simple to learn . . . and most likely an age to master.
I’m already picking my favourite team 🙂
Awesome game!
This was lovely!
The game is beautiful
Looks fantastic 🙂
