MOB Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Geekdad.com reviews The Gods War: "a brilliant and immersive strategy game with a rich and textured lore... given the look and feel of the Cthulhu Wars miniatures these will be well worth the price of the game." https://geekdad.com/2016/08/glorantha-the-gods-war Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runeblogger Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I'm totally in for this game. The miniatures look stunning. The representations of the gods are interesting. Only a quibble: the troll units look like gorillas. I think I'll go for the core game plus Elder Races.

Steve Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 My initial thoughts were that although it looks awesome, it was a bit expensive for me, and the original price of shipping to Europe tipped things over the edge. But Sandy's lowering of the European shipping price has meant that I've decided to back it, albeit just for the basic game (and I will have to work hard on my completionist tendencies to be satisified with that for now!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOB Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 I never knew Forbes magazine covered table top board games, but there you go... features both The Gods War - "an epic strategy board game of godly proportions" and Prince Valiant by "legendary game designer Greg Stafford": http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2016/08/23/five-really-cool-tabletop-games-on-kickstarter-right-now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) If you're not following the Kickstarter, then you probably won't be aware that Sandy announced he was bringing forward the 6-8 player map if we can reach $430K by the end of Saturday. Right now we're standing at $404K. So if you like bigger games, then you know where to pledge ... Edited August 26, 2016 by Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrippyHippy Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I'm backing it at Hero level currently. It really is a bank buster though at $450 (+PP to New Zealand), so I'm going to have to carefully assess this on the next payday before the end of the campaign. I do recognise that I'll be paying for quality though as the figures are truly awesome. The game play looks like a good intro to the themes of Glorantha too, and the Hero level is clearly the best value for money (you get everything!).

Steve Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) Big news from Sandy Petersen, just now: "1) I have written rules for using the Gods War Monsters as a new Cthulhu Wars feature. 2) I am in the process of rules for using the Gods War Elder Races in Cthulhu Wars. 3) I am ALSO writing rules for using the Gods War Greater Gods as Neutral GOOs in Cthulhu Wars. 4) and, of course, I am going to write up the Cthulhu Wars GOOs as Monsters for Gods War. To buy an expansion (like Monsters), all you need to do is back at the Minion level, then add on whatever money is appropriate. Tell your friends!"

Steve Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Great progress yesterday means that just $7.5K is needed by midnight (EST) tonight to unlock that massive (190mm tall) Pamalt sculpt and the full Moon faction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
