Zee, please make a top 10 Neuroshima Hex 3.0 armies list! Any while you are at it, a top 10 trick-taking games too :P. You are the ultimate authority on this matter.
Hey! I wanted to add something you may not know about the themes. This game is based on Polish rpg system Neuroshima. This world is described in details in around 7 (?) books. And to me it's obvious step that they release Iron Gang. I hope they are from Detroit? I even predicted double move as Detroit is a place for racers and different types of gangs :D. So all the armies and places have a great story in neuroshima RPG and Hex is just a cool simplification :) One of the coolest things about the RPG is that you can play it in one of four colors - Steel, Rust, Mercury and Chromium. And they affect what kind of story it will be, its general mood. Thanks for the review, I'm going to get myself this army!
Although they aren’t completely original, the ability to use abilities outside of battle unique. The only things close are action tiles that do damage. I like these guys.
Smart army came from Neuroshima Hex Duel , so if you look for english reviews of that they might have something about it. I don't think Zee reviewed that one. I know it's separately sold now but not sure if it's only in polish
Maybe you don't understand board game design, but how would he know? First of all, he said well balanced, but he played one or two games. He doesn't know, He can guess, but he doesn't know. But the designer worked on the design for a year, played 100 games with against all the armies, and he says it's balanced. Because designing expansions is about balance. Do you really think Zee knows better than the designer?
