• More content not complexity

Cons

• Limited Kickstarter exclusivity

The Page

Mythic games is a proven company and they know how to make a good Kickstarter page. I have a few games by them, Riechbusters and Super Fantasy Brawl thus far, and eventually Hel: The Last Saga and Time of Legends: Joan of Arc will be coming in. They also put out Solomon Kane which is fulfilling now which I would love to back sometime. I hope that Mythic Games will do a 1.5 version of that, and they tend to be pretty good about offering their games again on Kickstarter.

But back to the page itself. I think it’s a solid page. They do a great job of laying out what all the levels are, but unfortunately what the original game was, that part is a bit hidden. It feels like the page is made for the second time backers, which I think is the case. But if I were a new backer or someone who didn’t know about the game, it is obvious that this is an expansion, but how does the game work. Thankfully, there is a ton of content on it, but it’s not as easy or obvious to find. The fans of the game are going to find this page and you don’t need to sell them on backing, just make it obvious what they need to back. The new people, they need to make it more obvious what the game is.

The Game

Now, I’ll be talking more about the game itself in a post later today. Super Fantasy Brawl in a nutshell is an arena battle game where you are trying to knock down your opponents characters for points or complete objectives. The first person to five points wins. You do all of this through three activations per turn which can be basic actions or card actions. Ideally you want to use only card actions because they are better.

The expansion, what does it add. It adds in more characters that you can play. I really have liked my three play throughs of the base game, which all happened yesterday. And I think with the 12 characters that I have in my original game, that is a lot. However, would it be fun to have more? I think so. These looks interesting and unique characters, which is something that the original has as well. It could have been just standard fantasy characters, but Mythic did a good job of creating really interesting groups of three characters.

Back or Brick

So, I won’t leave any suspense, this is a Back for me. I think that these new characters are going to be great for this game. This is one of those games that I can imagine doing a tournament for, and I know that Mythic has already done that. But more characters, more things going on, and it’s not that expensive for 9 new heroes and all their cards plus a few other things. The only thing I wish that they’d offered was an at cost or just shipping cost only improvement for their horribly done storage solution for the big box from the original Kickstarter.

How about for you, is this game a back or a brick?
