Macca helps inspect the new recruit
Its much less painful than it sounds you know!!! Yes that's right ladies and gentlemen Gears of War the board game has arrived at Frontline Gaming HQ today. After many months of waiting patiently as it sat there on pre-order at OG Games, it has landed. I'm pretty darn excited about it too because unlike the other two versions of Gears of War I have this one hopefully doesn't come with RRoD. Yeah that's right while playing Gears 1, RRoD. Playing Gears 2? yeah you guessed it RRoD. Screw you in ear Microsoft, I don't need your badly made hunk of junk anymore to get my Gears fix... in your face Xbox 360, IN YOUR FACE!!! Excuse me while I go tea bag the hell outta my Xbox 360 Elite...
...and I'm back! Right so far the quality of the product looks as lovely as anything you'd expect to see coming out of Fantasy Flight Games. The cards look suitably Gears like with lots of really atmospheric artwork displayed really well on high quality gaming cards. The board tiles although not interlocking, that's not necessarily a bad thing, are as always made of thick sturdy card that feels durable and the printing is nice and clear. The miniatures are still made of the slightly rubbery or flexible plastic that board game manufacturers love so much, but like the Mansions of Madness pieces they're actually a lot harder or stiffer feeling, in fact the Gears miniatures feel firmer still when compared to the Mansions of Madness pieces. I'm going to say they're closer to the plastic pieces produced by Games Workshop than I thought they would be and the detailing is actually really quite nice. Any way Here's some pics:
