We speedily review this fantasy war game made by an old MTG artist! Christopher Moeller’s Burning Banners has 2-6 players playing one of 6 asymmetric fantasy factions like orcs or dwarves, mostly to try to conquer each other. It has 4 included maps for variable scenarios, and has plenty of ameritrash ideas like dice rolling and critical hits off of rolling black dice. There’s a great amount of decision making with building and deciding how to use your many unit’s 1 actions, but that may cause problems in multiplayer…
Games mentioned: Twilight Struggle, Root, Pandemic Legacy Season 1, Tiny Epic Kingdoms, Sol: Last Days of a Star, War of the Ring 2nd Edition, Crusader of the Rex, Hammer of the Scots, Bloodstones
