Hmm. Well since it was WizKids, I was thinking it might be on Amazon, but oh well if not. I'd love to have this, but I already have several UNOPENED frikkin board games that are crying for attention.

Mirth,

I have many games. It is known. As I am a game reviewer, and game reviewers are whores for games, we tend to collect a lot of them.

The thing is, I actually write reviews for the games I receive/buy.

Cough.

To be fair, I'm a bit behind.

On reviews.

But not like...yeah. Ha!  O:-)

Ricky showing off Star Trek Frontiers..... on my pre-order list even though my BGing has suffered over the past couple of months.

It's in stock at CSI right now.

Hell.. I still have plenty of replay life left in the game this is based on so will put this off as long as possible.  If I didn't already have the MK one, I'd be all over it.

Received notice that mine shipped! Can't wait to try it.  :smitten:

I'm guessing the components are the same quality as the base Mage Knight game, too?  Albeit with those damn stock TV photos on the cards, instead of actual artwork.

Minis - are very good, I dig the Borg Cubes
Cards - feel a grade below the MK cards to me
Tiles - they are about the same as MK, however not as easily distinguishable on some of the locations
Box - for sure a downgrade from MK, still has a great insert, but box is thin
Dice - about the same
Data Crystals - again about the same quality, and I though the MK was just ok

Overall not bad, but not an upgrade from MK.... the box is the biggest issue I have so not too bad overall.


I am working on a website for faction specific random away missions.  Just testing right now.
