Battle of the Minds.
For a few months now iv been trying to find an alternative table top game from Warhammer 40k, i love Warhammer 40k but it just takes up so much time and money plus it seems pretty sloppy atm as far as balance and such goes. So iv been on a hunt for something on a smaller scale. Iv looked at Warmachine, Hordes, Mailfaux and Infinity and while they all seem like pretty awesome games none of them seemed to of overly grasped me or would be that cheap or any less time consuming. But last week i had a brain storm, im going old school, super old school and getting into playing Chess, Backgammon and Go. Especially Chess and Go where there is no randomness and both players are 100% equal, so it all comes down to strategic wit from the individual, a pure battle of the minds! It may not be as fancy as all the modern table tops games out these days but the simpleness and pureness of the games is what excites me, that victory or defeat will be achieved free from lack of balance of rule exploitation, no excuses ;) oh and its dirt cheap! What do you guys think?
