Bamaka versus Jokers

[RichardH]

Hi All,

Played a few games last friday, and now that we are familiar with the rules the games just rocks !!!

We both played with the starterboxes.


Bamaka hat to collect 9 tokens and Jokers hat to kill Bamaka's for VP.

We quickly realised the reason why you only play on a 60cmx60cm table. Ours ist 120cmx120cm (because of the other games we play).

Jokers setup first in the right corner and Bamaka in the left corner.
The Jokers didnt do anything except running around behind the Bamaka, who picked up the Tokens and ran away from Jokers.

The last 2 turns the Jokers finally got in to combat...





Jokers lost badly.....

In the second game (Sorry no Pics) the Bamakas had to get to the center of the board and the Jokers had to Loot the Dead.
So the Jokers ran to the center of the board and waited for the Bamaka's to come.
This was a very obvious win for the Jokers...

Some thoughts on the game...
We don't see the point of the Betting SP points who goes first? Bamaka is very fast and I betted a few times to get the first turn but got interupted easily with Bamaka having ridicoulus fast fighters.
In the end we both bet no SP and let the dice decide.....

We also don't like the Missions, they kinda very much al the same. I bought the Convoy and the Jokers starter and the missions who are in there, 3 of them say kill you're opponent for VP. Then there is the Looting mission we're I also have to kill my opponents...
We are absolutly going to make our own scenarios (we already checked those from Malifaux, wich seem to work fine for Eden)

We also decided to play larger games, 150 or 200 pints, this because of the size of ours board, and the whinning of my Bamaka opponent because he only can filed 3 miniatures

Overal this is a great game, lots of tactic and fun.
This game has become a regular in our group together with Warmahordes and Malifaux.
Great game.....
