Death Match variants

By maamets, in Tannhauser

Hi folks!

I bought the game several months ago but have yet to play it. The problem is that essentially this game is a 2 player game altough the box says 2-10. As my usual gaming group consists of at least 4 persons then other games that actually natively support more than 2 players will be chosen instead.

Still I would like to try this game out with 4 or even 6 players and I was thinking about running a death match mode of this game. Basically my initial idea is to use 4 heroes or 6 heroes (not using troopers at all) and either play:

  • team death match (2 vs 2 or 3 vs 3)
  • everyone for himself

In theory both of the above should work okeish as the rules for death match are rather simple. But my question is that maybe more experienced players have better ideas or suggestions how to make this game work with 4 or 6 players.

Well after you get people familiar with the game, I like four people (2 v. 2) and a good scenario (or story mode); each person plays one hero and one troop, this way they stay in the game a little longer if it turns into a "bath of blood." You could also play 3 v. 3 if you have enough expansion characters (team captains play two heros). Once the troop pack is out 6 player with Hero + Trooper combo will be a possiblity also.

Team capture the might be fun, but I've never tried it.
