CMON Blood Rage

Es un juego muy elegante, con componentes de mucha calidad y unas miniaturas increíblemente detalladas. La temática Vikinga le va al dedo. Es muy competitivo y exige al jugador pensar en las mejores estrategias para sacar ventaja. Un gran juego para los amantes del hobbie.

A cool game, some of the pieces come a bit bent since there is that much to package into a relatively small box, but that doesn't bother me too much, I am more so interested in the gameplay. The game is really fun and interesting, came up with some rules to play as 2 person teams with each clan which works well. Think this will become a fast favourite for myself at least.

This is a great game for a small group. The components in this game are amazing, high quality and contain a lot of detail. If you like miniature games and/or enjoy painting these are perfect for you (this is not required by any means, but would make the figures that much better). PROS: +The game runs pretty quick, I would say around 45 minutes after the first play through, which is nice as you can play multiple times during one gathering. +As stated above the game has incredible miniatures, and has some good bases to snap on the bottom to easily identify what components are yours and your enemies. +2-4(or 5 with expansion Blood Rage 5th Player Expansion- Multi-lingual Game ) The range is nice and the number of players really changes the game strategy, so playing with 2 feels much different than playing with 4. However the rules stay mostly the same (the card drafting changes very slightly) +Each game is different board to play on, there are different areas that are destroyed depending on the number of players and they change every game. There are different pillage tokens that are placed randomly on the board each game. Finally in the game there are 3 different areas that are destroyed after each age. All of these rules help to make the game-board different every game and keep it fresh and repayable. +The drafting of the cards in this game is outstanding, this is a great mechanic to play the game. This removes the need for rolling dice or drawing a random card, for the most part everyone has a chance and you need to decide what is best for you before you pass the reaming cards to the next person. +Finally one great part of the game is playing cards to aid in a battle (which by game design, you do not always want to win) these are played down and reveled all at the same time and it allows for some heavy strategy and bluffing in the game. CONS: -Even though the miniatures are very nice and are a natural base color (probably for painting) it would have been nice if they would have distinguished each different type of figure with a slightly different color base color, it is sometimes hard to remember who is the warrior, leader, monster ect.... -The game goes quick which is nice, however it seems like by the end of round 3 (the last round) you could really enjoy playing for another round or two as you finally have some good combinations set up with units and upgrades. Overall this is a well designed game with great components and plays quick. I would say it is an easy game to play but a good amount of strategy is needed to win. Below are a few pictures of some of the figures (not painted) right out of the box.

This game is amazing. It's easy to learn and easy to teach. It's fun to play and the miniatures look good. This is one of my favorite games to play with friends now.

Blood Rage is a great strategy game that is quick to set up, very easy to learn, and surprisingly deep and strategic. Each player selects a viking clan (all clans are identical) and then spends 3 ages pillaging the world and each other for glory. The cards you receive at the start of each round, and the subsequent drafting phase, make for a deep, and ultimately stressful, experience that me and my friends cannot get enough of. The plastic miniatures are gorgeous and there is no end to the satisfaction of thumping the Fire Giant down on the board to the groans of your friends who have just had their strategies upended.
