Block Mania is back!

[norton canes]

I wouldn't expect a board game with mostly cardboard components to be priced at much in excess of £30. And expansions are generally priced a little lower than their 'parent' games. I certainly think anything over £60 would be quite steep for these two games.

I am intrigued to see if any extra rules will be included in these editions. The kind of thing that might have been described in White Dwarf maybe.

White Dwarf had some additional rules, which are included in the new edition.

I'd guess it might go a bit higher for what's likely to be a pretty limited run, but fingers crossed.

Chainsaw Warrior also had some extra bits published in White Dwarf. Loved the production design on that one.

I think I still have Chainsaw Warrior here too.
Post COVID 80s boardgame meetup anyone?

Of course Chainsaw Warrior is uniquely suited to lockdown being a single player game! For those who haven't had the opportunity to play that game it's essentially a boardgame version of a first person shooter computer game. It appeared years in advance of anything similar on a computer and it featured lots of Brett Ewins art. The Warrior himself looks like what Kano would look like if the Krool never got their hands on him.

Does anyone know what happens in Block Mania if you daisy chain on any extra blocks beyond the two in the original game and the two in Mega Mania?

"All units respond! Major sector-wide confront in progress!"

Order place and thought it was a great price, looking forward to getting this

Snagged one - only £30 - so very happy with that, bottom end of what I was expecting! Don't see Mega Mania yet though. I got the impression they would both be out at the same time - but that might be me reading too much into things!

[CalHab]

I also ordered it. Something to look forward to once my board game group can meet up again.

Sounds good - but where?

Yep.  Not me though.  I've seen photos of a game at a convention where there were a high number of blocks (can't remember and can't check as I'm in my lunch hour at work - and work computers block selected gaming websites).

Where are you ordering this from? I can't seem to find the blasted thing!

Aha! Got it. Thank you!

Now there's just one question: "I'm with Rowdy Yates Block! Who are you fighting with??"

[sixmo]

No sign of Mega Mania, but then I didn't have much luck finding Block Mania initially either. Anyone spot it?

[TordelBack]

Decent price indeed, but for some reason I was expecting the two to be bundled together.
