We are knackered! Having such a great time though here at BuckeyeGameFest IMHO the premiere convention in the Midwest for game playing. Had a blast since Wednesday evening.
First play of Burning Banners from compassgames here at BuckeyeGameFest 4- players and there is lots to like here. Beautiful production. Fantastic components. Unique factions. This is a wargame with hexes and combat but set in fantasy/sword and sorcery. Good times!
Check out BuckeyeGameFest Daily Debrief Series Day 2 where we played games like The Struggle for Zorn from Blue Panther, Fire in the Lake and Andean Abyss from GMT Games, Alpha Zeds from Trick or Treat Studios and Nations & Cannons from Flagbearer Games 🪶 theplayersaid.com/2024/05/03/buc…

The Kraken is no more as our brave heroes, who hauled the flagpole from the fort and rowed a canoe to ram the beast, skewers his eye and the protruding lightning rod attracts a huge fiery bolt that connects and blows the evil to pieces! Nations & Cannons from Flagbearer Games 🪶
As the battle rages on, from the depths rises a beast of myth and legend in the Kraken. His eye is set on the HMS Avenger as the battle for the fort rages on. Nations & Cannons from Flagbearer Games 🪶 here at BuckeyeGameFest
The HMs Avenger approaches the fort flying the Union Jack so as they begin shooting at the British column approaching the fort they hit devastatingly and kill several soldiers. Nations & Cannons RPG from Flagbearer Games 🪶
Playing a fun session of Nations & Cannons RPG from Flagbearer Games 🪶 here at BuckeyeGameFest Having a fantastic time! The crew broke out Patriot sailors who were imprisoned to steal the HMS Avenger to support the assault of the Dorchester Heights.
First play of The Struggle for Zorn: Red Blight from Blue Panther once again with the designers Hermann Luttmann and Ryan Heilman Fun game but as usual for a cooperative brutally difficult! Having a great time here at BuckeyeGameFest
