On Saturday Eric Jacobson, Kevin Jacobi, Cam Cusiak, Steven Stanton, and I put on a huge, 700-figure, 36 player game of Gnome Wars. Even with that amount of figures and players the game ran incredibly smooth.
Here is how it went down:
The first board was the Treasure Island. The players had two simple tasks - find your treasure and get off the island. Here is the initial set-up. (I left in the background so you could see that there were quite a few other games going on.)
The island had inhabitants - Cannibals - and they went looking for food...
As the landing parties were searching for their treasure, a few of their members were captured by cannibals....
....so they had to go to the village to attempt a rescue. The young man pointing with the ruler is Scott Lung who, despite his age, has become one of the better Swiss players over the past couple of conventions. The gentleman to the left of him is the best Irish player in Gnome Wars right now - Bill Goodrick....
....who sent half of his Irish back to the boats with the treasure. He did sent the other half of the Irish to support the attack on the village....
...as all the other landing parties went to the village one of the nubes, before seeing if the natives were friendly, shot and killed a few cannibals. Immediately drums were heard in the woods....
....so the attackers decided to use the cannibal village to defend themselves against whatever was going to attack...
....except they told the Sikhs there wasn't enough room at the walls and they should set up on the outside. Good thing they had a machine gun....
More to come!
Wow, I love the terrain an especially the volcano - the Sikhs look cute too.
