I still need to learn the 1.0 rules!
Great to see a game that’s willing to evolve, not only story wise, but with the rules as well.
Fun stuff!
So I’m interested to see the changes in 2.0. The current set of rules seem pretty solid already from an outsiders perspective.
Liking the evolution and long cadence. I can’t take a game that releases an FAQ and an errata every 6 months.
My comment isn’t directly linked to the rules changes as I haven’t played the game so I don’t have much of an idea as to how they change. BUT! I was thinking about how clever the deployment phase is for this game, if you had to line your units up on one side of the board, when activations start happening, players are more likely to move the same units over and over again, effectively leaving the weaker units just standing around (think cheer leaders in Infinity, only with less use altogether) By spreading the units out, it means you are… Read more »
agreed ^^
it is good game design and i’m sure the changes to activation will help further balance the use of characters and units. its a tough balance to find as you do want the ability to Rambo but you don’t want it to become over powered. you definitely don’t want to go too far the other way as game play can become a plodding grind, the best games out there have evolved past such one dimensional play. infinity’s ARO mechanic is a fantastic example of how to allow for those cinematic moments of one guy racing across the battlefield under a… Read more »
I do very much love the unique approach.
Sounds like buying the hardcover book is a bad idea right now.
The rules and unit profiles have always been available online. The main reason to have Darkspace Calamity is the fluff.
@redben how many pages of full are in the book?
The Darkspace Calamity Rulebook is 272 pages. The actual rules start on page 24 and end on Page 61. The rest of the book does include unit stats alongside unit backgrounds, but everything else is story and description.
Ta 🙂
more work on it !!! the guard is too expensive now !!!
Looking forward to trying the new rules.
Those changes sound interesting
I haven’t played, but after watching some game play online the changes appear to make sense.
Granted I’m a complete novice to this game, but as an experienced gamer some of the balance effects make the game more appealing.
Haven’t played a lot of the new scenario scoring (my main opponent moved away) but my experience so far is that these are good changes.
I think the changes to damage mitigation are my favourites. They should help reduce the length of some games that could dragged on because of this.
These seem interesting
After seeing this amazing game languish out of sight and mind for so long, it is a wonderful feeling to have many new players discuss future rules updates.
I really missed playing this game.
do you guy’s have an idea of when is it going to be a new rule book ? and also i hope that the cards that as come with the starter box or the single box miniature don’t need to change so the stock i have already bought are going to be useless
If it makes for a better game I’d much rather the stat cards were updated.
Waiting for the new rulebook here before jumping in.
so far I haven’t heard anything that would sell me that game. is there a chance for game play?
Never been part of BoW contests before. When do they do the drawings and do they announce winners via social media?
Downloading and reading the new rules now. Always glad to see a game company that’s not afraid to tweak things as needed.
Nice!
Is good to see that they’re developing the game continuously, really don’t see a reason not to invest!!
I really like the slick rules in this game I really hope I can get my wife to play
Relic Knights is awesome!
Nice video
