Dungeon Journey

It has been a total blast playing these first few games. The rules are straightforward however, complex strategy is required to complete the mission. I’ve been playing as the Overlord and there is a huge amount of strategy for me to sink my teeth into also. A major plus point on having someone control the enemies means that there is less formula to the actions the enemy takes on account of having to make a limited number of choices each turn. The overlord cards really do throw a random element at the hero players as there are a good amount of things that they can do.

Anyway….I’m off to paint skeletons….

So I decided that with the chance of getting some more games in at the club this week, I thought that its all very well painting the characters but if there is plastic looking dungeon furniture it loses some immersion…..

Now, it’s probably not the end of the world since the doors and such are in a nice looking brown plastic (some other items seem to be PVC). Nevertheless I wanted to paint them anyway. So in order to not stifle my creative juices (easy tiger) I decided to do them in small batches.

In spite of hoping to only play with painted figures, the lure of adventure was great and the first few games of Dungeon Saga were gotten underway.

Began with the Quick start intro adventures and then a stab at the first mission proper. In a word this game is “Brutal”….

Afterwards we separately had our own opinions on the game and how it went but enjoyed it nonetheless.

TOP TIP:- The adventurers need to play rather aggressively to accomplish the mission goals.

Definitely going to carry on adventuring…..and getting the models painted up.

A good while ago I started to put a bit of paint on the starting four heroes. Recently I decided to finish them with a view to play the actual game (I know, crazy right).
