I'm looking forward to this game because there will be new expansion for this MW product line, where dungeon crawl will be featured.  Exciting!

Sorry and let me know if I'd posted something wrong / irrelevant, but as always, Happy MW!

Thanks Lordofwinter!

I also have another video explaining what the box includes (like tiles and such)

A really big thanks to both of you! Really nice walkthrough.
Now I'm very eager to get this to Europe.

You're a glass half-empty sort, aren't you?

Also, just because a card references V'tar doesn't mean it can ONLY be used in domination games.  The Sslaak and Usslaak cards, for example, get a bonus when in a zone with a V'tar Orb, but they can still be played in regular games just fine.

Good thing, then, I don't have any promo cards, yet

I'm thrilled this all happened. Thanks to Coshade for putting this out while I was absent.

Also, great synopsis LoW. I'm sure it opened some people's eyes to the possibilities.

[fas723]

When is the international release?

[Anubis]

Ahhhhh! Finally!

My Druid will not be so vulnerable when fireballs are flying, thank you for making Raincloud tournament legal!!

Also in the near future there will be a video of Battlegrounds in action as a 3 player game. That was a blast to film and play in.

I think Battlegrounds leads to a new and exciting format to play Arena.

[Coshade]

Even if you don't want to play with a new win condition, the V'tar orbs in the arena offer great strategy for kill the mage only games.
