Yep, for those of you who have been keeping a close eye on GCT Studios, the creators of Bushido the Game, you'll have been aware that for sometime they've been working on the latest installment of their game rules. Well today they actually launched them. Banzai!!!! You can download the new rules and cards for the four current factions here. I have yet too actually sit down with them for any length and work out what I make of the changes. There is no question in my mind the previous Bushido rules were a bit of a rough diamond in some respects, and I hope this new set of rules will have polished things up nicely and left a more balanced and rounded game behind that is easier to navigate. I was not a fan of the previous versions damage table and felt it could really swing things quite violently. Any who if you play Bushido and you've had a chance to have a smooch at the rules let me know what you think. Thus ends my public service announcement. Peace out!
Thanks! I'll need to try and get a proxy game in with these :)
ReplyDeleteYep that was my instant reaction as well. But with all this real life stuff going on right now I'm just not too sure when I'll get the chance to. Let me know what you think once you've given it a blast.
DeleteI've been hanging out for the new rules to be released!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I didn't get too far into the last edition; it makes the transition easier and my expectations lower (in the sense that I'm not that invested in the previous edition).
Hopefully it is all positive!
The first set of rules was what they were, a rough draft of a game that showed some real promise. I'll have a smooch at these rules properly this week during breaks and such like. Might even try to get a game or 4 in.
