More greek Gods?
« on: February 07, 2018, 20:37:09 »
After seeing something on THAT site, I got the cat myself...  (link)



Poseidon, Hermes, Artemis, Demeter...

(that long wail was my wallet, yes.)

Maybe a bit off topic from playmobil, but all about greek mythology and hurting wallets,

There's an amazing board game called Mythic Battles: Pantheon that features skirmish battles with the greek gods, heroes, monsters and troops.
I backed it on kickstarter and received it last month and am really enjoying it a lot. It's kickstarter exclusive but is getting a reprint this spring for a new kickstarter campaign.

All units have highly detailed sculpts and abilities that match how they are in the mythology.
The Hydra regenerates, the Minotaur can charge, Medusa can petrify others, Zeus throws lightning, Hades gets a benefit out of every death, Achilles is hard to kill, Circe turns troops into wolves, etc.

They go pretty deep into the mythology too. Also the game is crazy fun to play. Each player has a god, then you have a certain amount of points to draft in turn a unit untill you run out of points. You win by either killing the enemy god or your god absorbs 4 red jewel thingies on the board called omphalos.
So far I had some great games. I am starting to find some great combinations.  One of those easy to learn but difficult to master games with lots of strategy.

Awesome, this is wonderful news!! I got Zeus and Athena as a gift for my Classics-loving boyfriend a couple Christmases ago and he loves them. Can't wait to add to the set!
