Black Rose Wars

Holy cow! 3,5 hours lasting game + 45min explanation. Way too many spells, and every spell card has 2 spells on it. Planning your turn with laying down your spells take way too long. And then it's a little bit of random chaos. It would have been very good if it only last 60-90min but almost 4 hours for such a game is just too long. Icons on cards are too small and putting the little roses in the minis is very fiddly. And I don't like the random target cards. Some are very easy and some not. And drawing of them is random.

Thought it worse, instead it's pretty intuitive and enjoyable once you play a turn or two. The nastiness of killing someone is actually a minor setback, you just respawn. I feared the chaos and luck would hurt more, but in the end the game is not too bad… if you take it for what it is. A funny royal rumble without much strategy or depth. Otherwise it has a lot of problems: too much AP for strategies that can go up in smoke instantly given the chaos. The game takes too long in minutes, but too little in decision space, since most time is spent in analysing spells, but not much time to play them. Same with the forgotten spells. It's all a very good idea, pushed too far, without elegance and clumsily loaded with everything they could.
