Just tried it tonight. We had a three person melee game and I was teaching the game to the other two people and I thought that Kingsmoot might be a little more staright forward because it didn't have the extra step of pick an icon. I was pleased with how much easier it was to teach, still hard but any CCG like game is hard to teach, there are a lot of moving parts to explain. But the Kingsmoot win condition was pretty cool. No one got all six cards but it was definately fun and made you rethink your strategy of hwo to play because you wanted to keep the cards. I can't wait to play a full four person kingsmoot or if we can fenagle it a 5 or 6 person. I think it will be more possible to play 6 with the kingsmoot. Plus a lot more fun.

I absolutely agree. I usually dislike melee games, but i enjoyed the two kingsmoot games we´ve played (3 players) a lot. Also the title the Crow´s Eye seems to shorten the total playtime by about an hour, which is in my opinion very welcome since i prefer to play shorter games.

I think that in general the Kingsmoot game is much faster paced than a regular melee because there is no extra step of selecting roles. Plus you are always looking to get the card so the more cards you have the bigger the target. Our game ended with my getting the needed 15 power, but the winner was always up for grabs no matter how much power one person had. A good conerted effort can ****** the victory from a player even if they get 15.

I enjoyed the faster pace an alternate win condition. I am going to play a couple more games before I am sure, but I think Kingsmoot is the new melee game of choice for me.

I will have to agree as well. We played 4 three player melee and the Kingsmoot variant not only sped up the game but made the players more aggressive. We had loads of fun with each player picking up a win.

My shop doesn't have KotS yet, but I'm going to play Kingsmoot and I wonder:

Pirate Marauder is the only title which doesn't work in the first round, right?

That is correct (correct alone was too short)
