The words part of the game was the loot system they had. They had a counter that went up every time a character did damage. On the counter there where loot tiles placed around every 4th tile. So the character that did the damage that would make the counter come to a loot tile have to draw a loot card […]

Board Game Analysis – Portobello Market
Time for another board game analysis, this time of the game Portobello Market.
This is a game where players compete by strategically placing Market Stalls on the game board, a representation of London (sort of), to score points.
The basics is that you spend an Action Token each turn and place either Market Stalls or randomized Market Visitors for the number of actions gained.
The Action Tokens each have a numeral representing the number of actions that the player will […]

Stratego Analysis

Stratego is a game made for two players and takes place on a field of 10*10 squares. There are two lakes close to the middle and no units can walk on them.
This is the game space:
Each player is given 40 game pieces and gets to place them however he […]

And lastly discuss what audience […]
