I must say though that throughout my many years at gaming I've never once liked "even sides" i.e. point based games or games aimed at competition/tournament styles. It can tend to lead to the more meta-gaming type of player - less so amongst friend though. <br />I'd centainly "have a shot" at Congo, but I reckon you'd definetly need a human opponent - something I sadl lacking (unless I want to play GW fantasy - which I don't !)Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776165776368681924.post-23974624329389266462017-10-30T17:24:43.480-07:002017-10-30T17:24:43.480-07:00Thanks Brummie, I really an so pleased with the w...Thanks Brummie, I really an so pleased with the way this format has worked.Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776165776368681924.post-2152226338890216402017-10-30T17:23:52.029-07:002017-10-30T17:23:52.029-07:00This game is indeed a spin off of SotN (which I ma...This game is indeed a spin off of SotN (which I may have mentioned in a previous post). It was born from two other similar variants "Ubonga" and "The Black Amazons in King Solomon's Lost City of the Diamond Mines in The Elephant's Graveyard at The Source of the Nile" both by Chris Ferree using "the Sword and the Flame" rules for the table action. The "Black Amazons etc" were used as a convention participation game and the SotN gae is also given credit for the inspiration.<br />I've looked at Congo, but like many things I was put off by the pricey rules, the "shinyness" of the idea and at least one review of saying "So it felt a bit like a card game with toy soldiers, rather than a toy soldier game with cards." I'd certainly give Congo a chance even so.
