After hobby days for the last two Wednesdays, it was back to board games last night. This time we pulled out a long owned but not played 2nd edition Warrior Knights. As it was the first time trying out the game it went rather slowly, as we worked our way through the rules. A word about the rules, they lack cohesion! Too many side notes, that contain information of note, rather than just writing clear rules.
More importantly, we had an issue with the starting set up/ As per the rules we randomly destroyed 11 cities. Then starting with the chairman we selected our starting cities. Almost by chance my opponent selected the single best city on the map. As his stronghold he was able to add 400 troops to the cities 400 troops. The next best available city started with 100 troops. Quite the difference! It pretty much assured my opponent that I would not be attacking his stronghold anytime in the game...
We did play a full two person game, with the end condition being met somewhere around 12:30 am.
