It’s hard to find some of the faction decks, most places are out of stock. Any chance someone can pick up a few for me and send ‘em my way? =)
I believe the plan was for them to have all the decks back in stock not long after Gencon. I may be misremembering or imagining that.
I believe so, too. Just being impatient a bit. =)
I loved the interview with Colby. He seems like such a nice guy. I would love to get to meet him some day. Too bad he only goes to PAX East. I am a PAX Prime kind of guy. Oh well maybe some day I will make it to GenCon.
Thanks guys for doing such a good interview.
Colby is a super nice guy. Really loves what he does and it shows. Also, he seems super concerned about making sure Summoner Wars is balanced, not really a personality trait, but something that I love to see in a game designer!
Yeah I can vouche for his need to have things be balanced. I was on the playtest team for Summoner Wars for a couple sets..namely the Cloaks, Jungle Elves, their reinforcements, and the Fallen Kingdom and Cave Goblin reinforcements. Let me tell you that was the most greuling gaming experience of my life. I played probably 100+ games over a twoish month span. He is certainly all about getting the factions balanced. The cloaks at first had a great win % vs the field(70%) so he gave assassinate and cloak of shadows the magic costs to even thing a little and that brought them more in line with everything else.
Love the game! Other than A Game of Thrones this is my favorite game on the market! Glad to see Colby so enthused.
Hahaha, Robert seems absolutely giddy in the second video. Welcome to the crew, guys.
Robert! You mention Phoenix Elves and Shadow Elves, but you forgot te best ones! Jungle Elves! Love that faction! Those gorillas are ridiculously good!
I’m so glad to see Colby this enthused and excited about the game. It means this game will be around for years to come. Which just makes my day.
