[livejournal.com profile] sammywol and I played a couple of games of Battle Line last night.

In the first game Sam won with a breakthrough! Clever use of the fog defeated my poor Alexander! Grr!

We'd played again, tactics cards featured much more and Sam won with a hard-fought breakthrough again with only a couple of cards left in the troop deck. Her traitor and deserter cards performed well.

I liked it. This is a good little thinky game with lots of painful decisions and having to sacrifice something now to protect a future play. Very Knizia, very Lost Cities.

Cool! I've been waiting for someone to tell me whether this game is fun or not.

I certainly enjoyed it. There are plenty of those painful decisions choosing which ongoing hand you've spent a few turns working on now has to to be sacrificed.

The art is lovely too, and the quality of the cards very sturdy. I think it's probably got more thinky-replay value than Lost Cities, but it does have a feel a lot like LC.
