Orcs Must Die - The Boardgame
2I quickly look at OMD the Board Game, the Petersen games version of the hit computer game. Its a light weight, fun, dice chucking Tower Defence game. I look at everything there is for Orcs Must Die The board game, inc the Kickstarter extras and Expansions.
Cons-
All the things take up a fair bit of room, rulebook layout, some minor typos, hard to see icons to show "level", light weight gameplay, some minis below standard vs rest in set and the worst fault of all red text on a brown background!!
Pro-
Rules are actually simple, can play from just the summary and boards, great artwork, fantastic fun minis, variable setup, ripe for cool expansions, some decent choices during play, co - op plus team vs Team options and finally it is (IMO) the best Tower Defence game there is.
Expansions:
The Bosses
The Order Hero Pack
The Unchained Hero Pack
3D skulls
The Minion Pack (Box not shown, I placed minis and cards in base box)
KS Exclusive items:
Glow in Dark 3D Skulls
Boss Card for every hero ( Though they are available as a PDF.)
Mr. Moneybags (the golden Boss miniature)
Rift Lord Miniature (Use the token instead in retail editions)
PS - i have never played the Computer game but I did get a free copy via "The Board Game" Kickstarter, so I plan to play it (eventually). Also my epic long game I played was without the 3 armies per spawn rule.
