Title: PoxNora- The other GenCon Discovery i am liking
Post by: Abyssal Maw on August 21, 2007, 10:28:53 PM
I am playing this game. It's kind of a mashup of a miniatures game and a card game, and its free. I kinda suck at it, but I love the Forglar Swamp faction.

Yeah, it's pretty cool. I they had a booth right across from the Hinterwelt booth last year and I was working Gencon for Bill. Nice people, cool looking game. Glad to see they made another trip this year. :D

Might be, but I don't think their ads are very good.

The name "PoxNora" is especially goofy, but when I saw that pixelly artwork and the Forglar faction I knew I had to try it out. It's a very cool game.

Okay, after trying out a game last night, I can't get behind this. The concept is awesome, but the game took for-ev-ar. I surrendered after an hour and a half, although I'm pretty sure I was winning as I had both fonts and managed to do a whopping 5 points of damage to the other guys shrine. I still think it's conceptually awesome, but I'd never have time/patience to seriously play it.

Sometimes if it goes long, I admit I'll just surrender. I just love the pixelly art though.
