Anachronism
Anachronism is a weird little collectible-ish card wargame. The idea is that you’re playing one of history’s greatest warriors in an arena fight against your opponent’s history’s greatest warrior. There is also a mix-n-match combo element to the game which is, you know, the fun part.
Anyway, I used to play Anachronism a lot in Ithaca. It’s a fun time and, since it takes ten minutes or less to play, you can throw down with someone in between other games ow while waiting for a game you were eliminated from to finish up.
So, sometime after we moved to Wisconsin, when I stopped paying attention, TriKing Games (makers of Anachronism) went out of business. It may have something to do with the rumors that they weren’t paying their artists. I couldn’t say.
What this means for me, though, is that I was able to pick up two of the card sets that I missed while I wasn’t paying attention at Origins. I haven’t gone through them all quite yet but they look good.
Now I need to find some opponents.
