But even in the club play that I've mostly done, it's easy to waste your points on an ill-considered set of cards rather than going for the peculiarly effective combinations or more ships.RogerBWhttps://blog.firedrake.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262220849718806044.post-66125862370456111472016-06-19T09:25:47.828+01:002016-06-19T09:25:47.828+01:00What strikes me is that X-Wing is a bit like Battl...What strikes me is that X-Wing is a bit like BattleTech, as in there's a large RPG element in it, and the cards work when doing a campaign that's focused on personalities. Otherwise cards offer little outside of tournament play, which is not my cup of tea.

I'm glad that they're fond of it (although I'd expect that it might be possible given the Dr. Who attire one is wearing!). I tried to get my little cousins (more like nieces and nephews) interested multiple times in tabletop gaming but it didn't stick. Pokemon, Heroscape, Xwing, and a board game or two but they just kept asking me if they could play on the xbox instead the next time they came over. :(SITZKRIEG!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05236105506126383773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262220849718806044.post-19789950935834599742016-06-06T12:24:26.305+01:002016-06-06T12:24:26.305+01:00It is isn't it.
