10 reasons Mage Knight is the worst boardgame of all time

So, I picked up Unicornus Knights this week. Put a map together of hexes, move around, roll dice to have combat, get cool skills, get allies. Bam. It’s obviously nowhere near as in depth as Mage Knight. The landscape is mainly there to affect movement, defense, etc.(not as many things to visit). But it TOTALLY scratches that itch for me. Combat is dice-rolly, but not TOOOO many dice. Not as many spells and stuff, but enough. Cool characters, fun theme. Plays is a fraction of the time.

The rulebook is a mess. There’s an UK reprint available online, hopefully it’ll ship with that in the future.

Ooh, look, it’s by Seiji Kanai, the Lost Legacy guy! You might have just cost me $35. Do you feel it’s got much variety and replay value?
