And he's hooked! He's looking into signing up as a retailer. He's one of the destination Magic venues in our area so there's some solid potential for the game.
I've been playing a few weeks so far and taught my regular heroclix buddy, my wife and my daughter. Everybody loves it so far. I had my venue owner intrigued and we got a game in last night. Also had another clix friend and a guy in the store.
So I setup the three of them and my clix buddy on the board. I had the four apprentice books already built. We used the magnetic noteboards in the creative forum. 2 had status boards and 2 just kept track with the magnet boards.
I did a brief rules overview and left the detailed explanations for in game. My friend played the priestess, owner played warlock, my other clix friend ran beastmaster and the guy ran the wizard.
It was interesting to watch the interactions. These were all seasoned gamers so they picked it up pretty quickly. The warlock & wizard started dueling as did the beastmaster and priestess. Shortly though, the beastmaster & priestess moved near the other two and ganged up on them. The wizard didn't last long, especially after the warlock exploded his elemental wand.
The warlock held on and fought a great fought but couldn't withstand unicorns, bears and knights oh my.
The priestess prevailed in the long run with Brogan doing much of the dirty work.
Everybody loved it and I think there will be more core sets than mine floating around.
Just wanted to share and say that it was probably the best couple hours of not playing a game I've had. Loved watching everybody get the hang of it.
Thanks for reading!
