  1. 4 out of 10

    AT Theme game based on getting revenge against gangs that have wronged you. Uses a combination of dice drafting and personal cards to powerup before going into dens and initialing dice combat. I think this game has some good roots but could have used more development and streamlining. More missions/acheives and I think the dice drafting was a bit under cut by the card play. Also it seems having high mind is always important because that's your source of action econemy (which helps you get other things). I've been noticing an issue with dice games that don't have simultaneous play (centerville being another recently) in that it causes a lot of downtime in between player turns because you can't setup/plan anything and it's important to know the results of the person taking their turn. Our game took twice as long as advertised (with rules) but even if there were no rules, it'd probably take ~45min per player still without. note: we did miss a bunch of small rules in our first play but wouldn't have changed my thoughts about the game overall

    Initial impressions of the solo mode are great so far, need a few more games to see what the replayability is like and i want to take it to the club to see how it goes multiplayer.

    There are few games that recreate the Vengeance movie theme and this one has theme at every corner. The feeling of being able to cut through grunts like butter, and then healing and improving your character all add to the immersion of it all. It also has a great pace to it, as it slows during the montage phase and accelerates into the combat phase and then back again. Some of the component quality is not the greatest but all in all, it is a great game.

Description from the publisher:

Step into the shoes of a hero that has been bashed and tortured by one or more of the four gangs in the game. You win by building up your hero, scouting gang dens to find the baddies who wronged you, then taking bloody revenge through action-packed fight sequences made up of dice based puzzles.

Vengeance alternates between montage turns and fight turns. In montage turns, players heal and upgrade their heroes through new abilities and items. They also go out scouting gang dens to find the bosses who wronged them and take revenge on them in the fight turn.

The fight turn is the heart of the game. Players pick one of the scouted gang dens containing a boss who has wronged them and burst into the gang den to exact bloody revenge. Players gain VPs for killing the boss, clearing the den from all the minions or, for maximum points, both. Players have three turns to do this and get out of the den in one piece.

Fights are basically dice-based puzzles. In each round of the fight, players roll a set of dice and decide the order in which they play the rolled results. Upgrade skills and items allow players to swap die-results for others or string together a number of results to perform enemy-slapping combos. Upgrades thus work towards mitigating the luck of the die-roll, giving players more control over their Fight actions.

Players score points by killing bosses who wronged them, i.e., matching the figure on their vengeance card with one of the face down Boss cards attached to each den and/or by clearing all minions of a gang which matches the color of a vengeance card they have in play.

At the end of the game players also score bonus victory points through three mission cards in play.
