Mutant Year Zero: Zone Wars - what we think makes this game great!

Thanks for the video! I'm on a skirmish-hunt as well :) I've got a copy coming. Can't wait to get a game in...

It’s really a very good game that I bought recently and that I brought on vacation to better discover it. It is both easy to access but terribly clever and fun: all the good mechanics of a tabletop game with minis are present but with the fluidity of a board game in one (or two) boxes. 😊

Cool video, I mostly agree with your takes. As a long time Mutant fan here is some info that I hope you'll find interesting. Several of the characters from this game show up in the X-Com like Mutant Year Zero from a while back. (Its a good game, worth a look if "X-Com with exploration, sealth and crazy mutant powers" sounds like your mug of grog.) Bormin, the Boar-man, is the lead character while Dux the Duck is his right... hand duck. Farrow, the Fox Lady, joins your team later on. There is a moose that can join your team later on but I think Big Khan isn't the same person as Moose from the table top game. For one thing Big Khan's is that he can breath fire as his signature ability. As for more factions there are two big one they could add from this era of Mutant: The Zone Ghouls, the insane cannibalistic remnants of humans that survived in the Zone. Might be tricky to make it work with the rule-set but I could see a swarming theme fitting them as they are the generic mooks of Mutant. The humans of Elysium, the rich elite and their servants that hid during the end of the world in their different bunkers and what-not. Their big thing is that they Do Not have any kind of mutation or psionic ability so I'm not sure how to make the M-point system work for them.

Cool. Thanks for the info.

Not a fan of the rules writing but then I am a bit of a rules facist. Clearly better with this more streamined style and fewer stats and the variation in scanarios, zone effects etc. I hope they make a scenario pack and card expansion for the game :) Auto-buy if that came out (perhaps even a new add on cardbord terrain set). A factionbox sure but not needed.
