What is Heroscape Master Set: Rise of the Valkyrie

This Fantasy Battle Board Game comes with dozens of painted plastic miniatures, each representing a warrior from a different era, and hex-based hard plastic terrain pieces which can be put together in many different ways. The warriors include 30 plastic figures, including World War II soldiers, futuristic robots, aliens, a T-Rex-riding orc, a large dragon, and many more. Each hero or squad has its own card that details both movement and combat abilities.

There are 2 large ruins and 85 tiles of terrain in the base game. Some terrain tiles are large (up to 24 hexes) while others are small (1 hex). There are water, sand, rock and grass tiles (in roughly increasing order). Many different battlefields can be built by attaching and stacking the tiles.

The rulebook features two games: a basic and a master version. In the basic version (designed for younger players < 8 years), characters move, attack, defend, and have range -- but there are no special powers and some other rules are minimized and/or eliminated. The master game includes special powers, wounds, engagement rules, falling rules, and a few other additions.

A battlefield/scenario book shows how to build five battlefields, layer by layer. Each battlefield may have multiple scenarios, where the goals vary. It can be opponent elimination, getting to a certain space, protecting a certain figure, or holding out for a certain number of turns.

Sencilla mecánica pero efectiva. Parece altamente rejugable. Lo bueno y malo a la vez es lo aparatoso que es...

Mi juego ideal de escaramuzas: sencillo, con poderes variables, escalable y ¡con metajuego! Para personas sin tiempo para pintar o aprender tochos de reglas. Satisface mis expectativas de jugón (suficientes posibilidades estratégicas), de padre (disfruto jugándolo con mis hijos) y del niño que llevo dentro (¿a quién no le gusta un juego con samurais, ninjas, vaqueros, robots, zombies, elfos, dragones, aliens, comandos...?) Más táctico de lo que parece (por los glifos, la altura, el terreno y la construcción del ejército). Buenísima mecánica la de la línea de visión (sin dudas en un 99% de las
