The great evil has fallen, and has taken the capital with it. Where once there was a kingdom, there is now only the Wildlands. In a lawless fantasy world, you must band together for survival, treasure, or maybe even glory. Players control rival factions, each with a unique deck of cards dictating their abilities across the battlefield. Some focus on ranged prowess, some on raw strength, and others on the bond between characters, offering a wide range of playstyles to explore.
Created by award-winning game designer Martin Wallace, this miniatures board game contains everything you need to dive straight into the dynamic fantasy world of Wildlands. Simple enough to pick up and play, but packed with tactical nuances that will keep you coming back for more, it is the perfect approachable skirmish game with endless replayability.

People were going goo goo ga ga over this at Essen. I don't get it. I played a full game (with a very good rules explanation by a demoer from Osprey Games--bravo). The board looks quite nice, and is what attracted me to the game. You have 5 dudes that start at various places on the board (which you have control over). You also have 5 crystals which start at 5 different places (which you have no control over). You then play cards on your turn to (mostly move your dudes around and try to collect your gems. 5 points = you win. I say you "mostly" move and collect gems, because you can also attack/defend, but in a multiplayer game, this generally falls into the classic problem of being lose-lose for both players involved. Especially because often an attack [i]defended[/i] which means the only thing that happened was both sides spent cards. Which are a precious resource as you draw exactly 3 every turn. In theory you [i]can[/i] make it win/lose by attacking [i]enough[/i] to not just wound but kill the other dude. But this is very hard to do. And if you don't kill, it just sets up someone else, because the spoils for killing to solely to player who dealt the fatal blow, and there is no healing. This brings me to the second problem with the game. [b]The miniatures ruin the game. [/b] It's nearly impossible to tell at a glance which dude on the board is which. Not just enemies, but your own. I had a devil of a time keeping it straight. You have to try and match the sculpt with the art on each card. This is really difficult when there are 25 unique sculpts. Sure, only 5 per player, and mercifully they have color-coded bases, but there's still a lot of work attempting to figure out which is which.

Es un juego sencillo que permite mucha interacción entre los jugadores. El arte es muy buen, el mapa es caro y las minis son muy bonitas. Una buena introducción a los juegos tipo "skirmish".
