So far, I've played:
-Descent, which I LOVE
-Battlelore, which I like a lot lot lot
-Runebound which I enjoyed for our first game
So, the pros for Runebound for me are:
-I haven't played 4X games, but was wishing for a long time (for instance, I was considering Clash of Cultures)
-I love the Terrinoth universe
-From what I've read, it would fit nicely in our 1/2 couple playgroup
-Units are really close to Battlelore 2nd Ed., despite it is older
Cons:
-It doesn't feel streamlined and elegant, e.g., hero mechanic seems redundant
-FFG is best at 2nd editions :-D So maybe it would be worthwhile to wait for Runewars as well?
-The art seems to be inferior to other current edition of Terrinoth games
-Maybe wait until it is on sale like Battles of Westeros?
So, what would be your advice?
