Per un me un capolavoro di gioco. Un mazzetto di carte e si fa tutto quel che si vuole. Le regole sono scritte malino, nel senso che sono tante e mal distribuite, poco immediate e in un inglese davvero preciso quindi più ostico. Il gioco in se risulta godibilissimo e c'è tutto. Il combattimento è geniale con implicazioni costanti e continue su molti fronti: la disciplina prima di tutto. C'è anche un sistema di gestione dei terreni e qualche carte speciale per dei poteri addizionali. Queste sembrano un aggiunta un po forzata al gioco. ma ci stanno. La pecca è quindi un sistema complesso e poco organico di regole che spesso fa desistere. Sono uscite anche delle espansioni: carte militari e un nuovo libretto di regolamento incluso un brano molto bello di background. Davvero sono rimasto molto soddisfatto del gioco.
