Indie Boards and Cards Aeon's End (2nd Ed.) - War Eternal

Produit apprécié, livré dans les temps et au bon endroit : un anniversaire réussi.

If you like Aeon's End., this is more of the same. Great cards and fantastic boss monsters and heroes.

O jogo é muito divertido, ele possui algumas camadas de complexidade que só deixam o jogo cada vez mais interessante. Recomendo bastante.

Arrived in perfect condition. Researched the Aeons end series and decided War Eternal would be the best starting set. Game is easy to learn and there's lots in the box for replayability. Even though War Eternal has harder bosses, you can play on beginner, normal or expert modes. Highly recommended!

War Eternal is an excellent evolution from the already fantastic Aeon's End. As a stand alone game, it largely improves on it's predecessor with better and more challenging nemeses, more interesting mages, and still excellent market cards. It's only relative downside is that a sizable minority of the content is geared towards higher play counts and doesn't scale as well for 1-2 player games. As an expansion to Aeon's End, it elevates the original game, and the combined content eliminates most any deficiency in either stand alone product. Bottom line, buy the game; you won't regret it. Aeon's End is a cooperative deck builder. You and your fellow players are mages, defending Gravehold from the evil Nemeses that are trying to snuff out the last bastion of humanity. You all start the game with relatively similar starting hands and positions, the differences of which won't be as apparent until you've got a few games in. There is a market with nine different cards that you are able to purchase to add to and improve your deck. Each turn, you play cards from your hand to purchase new cards, prepare spells to attack the nemesis and its minions, or use abilities. In an interesting bit of strategy, you (almost) never shuffle your deck, allowing you to plan out future hands and purchases turns in advance. The nemesis serves as your antagonist and is controlled by a combination of its unique mechanics and a semi-random nemesis deck. Player and nemesis turn order is randomized each round. Generally speaking, the game ends when either all players, Gravehold, or the nemesis are reduced to zero life. Indie Boards and Cards has had some endemic production quality issues. Thankfully, if you have any issues with your copy, they respond promptly (within a week or two) and will replace any problematic or missing pieces (within a month or two). As of the AE: Legacy printing (Jan 2019), these quality control issues seen to be resolved, so I wouldn't expect that anyone has this issue unless you're playing an older copy from a smaller retailer. War Eternal is a great starting point for getting in to Aeon's End, and what I'd recommend for most people. Better nemesis replay-ability gets it the nod over the original Aeon's End, but the game really shines once you pick up both stand alone games. If you want a simpler/easier play experience or play exclusively with 1-2 players, then Aeon's End might be the better option. The point is, you should buy one of them. Then the other. Then the small expansions...
