This is a great board, it's nice to look at and simple to play. Lots of opportunity to try to guess what you're opponent will do here, and of course, just nail em' in the head if you see yourself losing!
Great board that rewards risk and teaches the essence of Simulgear. Has the ability for epic battles and we've only begun to peer into the depths of strategy on this one.
It's a visually stunning introduction to Simulgear game play. Yes, it requires a bit of luck to win, but that's par for the course on smaller boards. Good, good stuff.
Fun game with great graphics. Games are generally quick and contain a nice balance of strategy and luck. The only slight downside is that the game is almost always won by the first player to gain a 2+ advantage in bonus units.
Edit: As with others, I'm tacking on another star because the more I play, the more I enjoy playing. I've also seen a couple of comebacks from being down 2 bonus units - still difficult to do but not impossible.
It's actually deeper than I thought it was on my first playthrough. I didn't care for the board at first, but as I keep playing it I'm finding that I enjoy it more and more.
There's something about the simplcity of R'm S'm that I like. However a board should be influenced by luck and not a slave to it. Let the longevity of the map prove me wrong. I'm usually into these sorts of boards, just haven't had that game that's hooked me, yet.
EDIT: I've played enough games to tack on another star. Seems to be trend here. Not had that sensational match, but there is some schuck and jive in initial rounds.
Given the size, and game length, there is a huge return on investment, a credit to Nygma.
This board has a lot to offer for those interested in a quick 2-player game. Granted, moves are somewhat limited because of just there being only so many territories, but there can be some strategy here. Dice can be a killer though - one bad turn can put you down too much to recover. Good graphics and a fast game.
The more I play it, the more I like it! I upped my rating.
After playing more, i upgrade my review to superb. this is a great two player game, and fantastic use of Simulgear. Superb 2 player game, awesome look! Got to stay on your feet, because it's hard to come back after falling behind. Love the idea of Rockem Sockem Robots, it's classic. And you converted the game to a Risk board very well. fun, quick 2 player board. :)
I'm a sucker for anything simulgear, and this is a good one of it. Not a lot of brilliant maneuvering on this board, but some good solid anticipation and persistence. I definitely feel like luck has screwed me on this board, but I also don't feel like I've won by just being lucky.
It's no gentleman's duel, but will we every see such brilliance again? No, seriously, THAT board is the BEST.
