World of Warcraft: The Board Game, Odin Sphere
I tried the WoW board game again, and while I like the combat system a lot, and the way that you slowly build a character, I obviously don’t know how to play this game. I keep getting killed by the simplest creatures. Maybe I’m just not getting the characters I need, or the equipment that’ll really help, but there’s just something that’s going wrong every time I play.
I tried one time with a warlock and a shaman on the Horde side, and while I had a good chance, it soon snowballed on me, and I can't remember much else besides I got kicked around a lot. The second time, I tried an Alliance side game with a mage and a priest, and this was miserable, as I could only get up to level 3 before turn 30 occured, and couldn’t even find the big bad. There just wasn’t enough time. I’m looking into various variants to at least make the game enjoyable while I learn how to play. To be fair, I really want to “win” this game, so I’ll probably be playing it a lot, just because it’s a good, crunchy fun game.
I also played some more Odin Sphere, and it is very pretty and kinda fun, a typical action RPG. I did run into a bug where I had a full bag and was expected to pick up a few things, and because I couldn’t, I couldn’t advance. It was kinda stupid and killed my will to keep playing, hopefully I didn’t screw myself by saving at that point. The boss fight against the dragon was awesome though. Go dragon fights.
