Grey Fox Games Champions of Midgard

Emballage honteux. Aucune protection du produit, carton trop petit. Je ne commanderai plus ce type d'article chez Amazon. La boite de jeu est cisaillée sur 2 arêtes. Pour un jeu à 50 €, ca fait mal au coeur....

Always enjoy to play.

Es un eurotrash donde las mecánicas cazan perfecto con la temática. Es un must si te gusta la colocación de trabajadores. Y si te gustan los vikingos es GENIAL. Lo agarré en descuento (me parece que 800 o 900) y además llegó antes de lo esperado en excelente estado. Gran compra! Sólo tres detalles que no me encantaron: El reglamento no está muy bien redactado (tuve que buscar en internet una edición revisada y ver varios videos tutoriales) así que es un poquitín tardado de aprender. Por otro lado creo que los enemigos se vencen demasiado fácil: con máximo 3 de daño ya acabaste con ellos. Creo que los combates deberían ser más retadores. Por último, siento que los recursos podrían ser mejorcitos (madera y carne son simples cuadritos cafés y rojos; monedas, favores y culpa son piezas de cartón), aunque eso aumentara un poco el precio, lo valdría. Lo que yo haré es “tunear” mi juego para hacer los recursos más realistas. En FB hay quien te los puede hacer con resina.

This is such a great game! I love worker placement games, but sometimes they can just feel a bit dry and dull. Put worker there and get resource. There is little risk or excitement because the outcome is guaranteed. CoM really combines great worker placement mechanics with the risk of dice rolling combat - and imo it does it very well, balancing the risk and bad rolls, with chance for reroll and using rune cards to turn the tide of combat. People say the expansion Valhalla is a must, I personally havent played with either expansions, and I think the game is great on its own. Sometimes you do get a really bad combat roll which will set you back quite a few points - this is sometimes game changing. Valhalla aims to balance this, however I dont think its absolutely needed. It's quite a complex game for people to understand at first, just because of the shear number of worker placement, combat and card options. However from our experience by round 2 people have grasped the basic mechanics and enjoy the rest of the game. I imagine Valhalla and Dark Mountains add yet more options that for a 1st play through would be a bit overwhelming for new players.

Champions of Midgard is my favorite game featuring my favorite board game mechanic, worker placement. This is a good game to use for teaching worker placement to new gamers, but should be reserved for when they start to transition into more complicated games. That’s not to say the game is complicated. For experienced gamers, the mechanics and rules will be easy to comprehend and pick up. Thematically, the game ties in well with the worker placement mechanic. On your turn you will choose a specific wp spot in your Viking village based on the strategy you are pursuing to become the next chief of your village. One of the strategies involves fighting mythical monsters and trolls using beautiful custom dice representing different types of warriors that range from more offensive to more defensive. Cards and wooden meeples are high quality. There are upgrade kits available to make the game more immersive. The Valhalla and Dark Mountains expansion really make the game sing. I highly recommend this if you like the Viking theme or like worker placement or dice chucking in your games.
