Dungeon Command

Ya aparecen en la web de Wizards of the Coast las cajas del próximo juego de miniaturas de D&D. El juego saldrá a la venta el 17 de julio. Cada caja contiene 12 miniaturas pintadas (de las antiguas colecciones de miniaturas de la misma marca), tableros modulares, monedas y tarjetas de las criaturas.
Es un juego independiente pero se necesitan de dos cajas al menos para jugarlo, lo bueno es que se supone que vendrán con tarjetas para incluir las miniaturas en la serie de juegos de mesa de Ravenloft, Drizzt y Ashardalon, por lo que para mi la compra está asegurada por esto último.

Primera caja dedicada a los Drow y criaturas del subsuelo.

Las ilustraciones de las cajas son bastante descriptivas de al menos 2-3 miniaturas de las 12 que contendrán, sobre todo para los que estén familiarizados con las antiguas colecciones de D&D.

Segunda caja dedicada a aventureros varios.

El texto que se puede leer en la web es el siguiente:
"Dungeon Command features themed miniature factions designed to play as unified war bands, in a game eliminating luck-driven mechanics in favor of player-driven skill, creativity, and quick thinking.

 Each Dungeon Command faction comes in its own box, containing twelve miniatures (plus the cards, tiles, and rules for the game). In addition to their use in Dungeon Command, these miniatures can also be used in the D&D RPG, with their cards further usable with D&D Adventure System board games (Castle Ravenloft, Wrath of Ashardalon, and The Legend of Drizzt). While each faction is meant to be played by a single player, quick-start rules allow two players to engage in a shortened version of the game using only one box".

Una tercera y cuarta caja saldrán el 21 de agosto. Esta de goblinoides y la cuarta de muertos.

"Dungeon Command is a card-driven skirmish game played on modular interlocking map tiles that uses action cards, creature cards and miniatures. The object of the game is to remove all of the gold from your opponent's vault.
Each player controls a faction comprised of 12 miniatures, while also having a deck of 12 creature cards and a deck of action cards, the number of which varies by faction. Play begins with each player choosing, then putting into play creatures whose combined levels total no more than seven, with and no creature exceeding the third level during this initial placement. Each player then draws three action cards and three creature cards, then places 20 gold into his vault.
Creatures are put into play from your hand by paying gold from your supply equal to the creature's level. Action cards can be played by creatures whose stats match the card. (For example, a creature with Dex as its main stat can play any action card that has Dex as its requisite stat.)
When a creature is killed, the creature's controller moves gold from his vault into his supply equal to the creature's level. The game ends when a player can no longer move gold from his vault to his supply. Players receive victory points (VP) for gold in their vault, and the player with the most VP wins".

En principio parece un juego más de escaramuzas, pero si trae material para la línea de Ravenloft puede merecer la pena.

 Por supuesto nadie dijo que las cajas fueran baratas... en la web aparecen al precio de 40$. Como en otras ocasiones y ante la política actual de Wizards dudo mucho que se traduzca a otros idiomas.
