Re: [Board/Tactical Game]: BattleLore: Call to Arms, reviewed by ShannonA (3/5)
We played with this last weekend. I guess I like it. It certainly adds more customization to the game.
That said, as cfarrell notes, at least in the game as it it presented now, the armies are a bit identical and three different decks for each army don't have a lot of variation in them. It seems like it doesn't matter which of the three decks you choose, they're all going to be basically the same. And once you're set up, the opposing armies aren't all that different.
And I have to say, that the side that gets dwarves is far superior to the side with goblins.
Lastly, we don't have a lot of experience with it, but we found that set up almost doubled the time it took to play. It may get quicker over time, but it is a serious complication to the game.
I enjoyed it overall, but I can't help but feel that it could have been so much more.
