Double Kill: Warband Revisited

Recently I publish a review of Warband: against the darkness and it was a game that fell far short for me. I still feel the same way for the game as I did in my first review but I have changed my rating system and wished to subject this game to my new rating system so it would match my future reviews. My opinion of the game remains the same so if you would like to hear my original thoughts please read the first review. Now on to the new and improved rating for Warband: against the darkness.

Theme: 2 (Medium)

Warband has one of the most unique themes I have every seen and I would love to see this theme in more games. The theme however great in concept, is not applied to the components and is only seen in the rule book text describing what the theme is suppose to be. There is enough to work with to use one's imagination so I would rank this average when compared to other games.

Components: 2 (Medium)

The components are average for the industry with really nothing that stands out. There are no major flaws that I have with the components and I didn't notice any production errors.

Complexity: 1 (Low)

This game has really no tough decisions and nothing really that is going to take some serious though. It is no more complex than most light card games.

Gameplay: 1 (Low)

The game plays smoothly and there is no major disconnect between the mechanics. The engine is simply just not that interesting despite how smooth the actions interact with one another. Nothing in the gameplay makes me want to play the game again.

Fun Factor: 1 (Low)

Like most games there are moments where I saw a glimmer of hope for this game but in the end it was just a bore. No one in my group was really engaged in the game and we had more fun bullshitting with one another than playing the game.

Final Score:

3/7 Dislike

A game that has an issue that forces me to dislike the game. I will never offer the game and will play if I am outnumbered by the group or it is someone's favorite games. I would prefer not to play the game again and it has no chance of ever entering my collection.
