Guild ball is a great game Read more

Guild Ball is quite an amazing game, honestly. I'm not going to do a review of the game itself, exactly, but instead review the contents of the box itself and the value within. Whether the game is 'good' is always going to be subjective, but it's safe to say that I very much enjoy it. Conceptually, the common description of the game is 'Gangs of New York Soccer' and that isn't too far off. Another good comparison would be with the old SNES/Genesis Mutant League sports games where violence is just as effective as scoring. If you've ever played Blood Bowl, you have a rough idea of what kind of game this is, but it's simpler and more dynamic in my opinion. If you're curious, the rules of the game are freely available on Steamforged's site - along with anything else you'd ever need to play the game that aren't the minis themselves. Tokens, cards, etc? All on PDFs waiting for you to print and use them however you'd like. Inside the box, you get two guilds with two strong line-ups that you can easily take to your FLGS and play some casual matches with and not feel gimped. Immediately, that presents some amazing value - especially in comparison to 'starter' or 'core' sets of other games. What this box is, ultimately, is a pivoting point. You can easily stay with either guild in the box and just build on them to increase your options for line ups, or use what you learn from playing with the guilds here to consider other available guilds depending on your playstyle. I definitely want to stress that you are getting a -full product- here, unlike what you would get from something like FFG (2-3 core sets for their games is the norm.) Don't be dissuaded by 'starter set.' This box will carry you a long way. The minis are plastic, and fully constructed so it very much is an 'open up and play' experience. They are not painted, but they are quite detailed, so people that truly want to invest in the game will likely have a lot of fun customizing their squad. This is something that carries to other guild minis as well, but I'll get to that. The rules are elegant and easy to pick up, but provide a lot of strategic depth - as any good minis game should. Since you're playing with a small squad, there's less you have to cart around as well; something I personally enjoy about skirmish games like these. Even the surface you need to play on is 3x3; smaller than most minis games require. The only issue is something that's just inherent to the game and what the box could feasibly hold. While the templates are universal, the majority of the tokens are not, and are specific to the teams in the box. This isn't a huge problem as you can simply print out tokens for the other teams if you do decide to pick them up, but it can be immediately a bit annoying. The other thing is that if you do end up getting into the game, and start looking at expanding your roster, most of the original teams are metal and require construction. The construction isn't too awful, but will require glue, a file, and some modeling clay such as Green Stuff. This is still very much a game for hobbyists if you really want to get seriously into it, so make sure to go in with full expectations. Later teams do have preconstructed plastic figures, and future kits are going to have a similar need for construction. They will, instead, be plastic resin kits that should theoretically be a little bit easier to work with. As a full product that has everything you need to get started, and have quite a few hours of fun just out of the box without having to expand it if you really don't want to, though; this really is a great game and a great example of how these 'starter boxes' should be. I highly recommend at least demoing this game at a local game store and, if you like it, picking up this box and making some friends. Just, again, beware: if you really want to get into this, there's a deep and long rabbit hole for this hobby. Guild Ball, at least, is a very affordable introduction, and an excellent game in its own right. Read more
