Good initiative.
Just got Mage Wars, and think it could be a keeper. Although I enjoyed the couple of sessions I had with Netrunner and Summoner Wars, I was never inspired to keep collecting and move beyond the base set. This one seems to have some of the best of the those, in a more lively and dynamic format. In a moment of madness, I ordered the druid-necro expansion to this game... a terrifying sign: is this the first step on a slippery slope of getting into an LCG? Maybe I just always liked the idea of controlling plants.
Anyway... it's not going to be the easiest game to get to the table, as a relatively long running two player. (I have played with my 7 year old son, but it will take a while to get him up to speed). I do think, however, that this is a game that could be pulled out at an out of the way table in a quiet pub on a weekday evening.
I live in Farnham, UK, and wondered whether anyone else within a half hour radius might be interested in a game of an evening?
