This week, our new Heroscape has finally arrived! We got the prepainted versions of the new master set as well as what they’re calling a “battle box” (which is basically just a mini-master set). So we slapped all the terrain together into a basic map and my middle child and I have played two games so far with the new figures, trying different configurations and combining with some of the classic figures to fill in gaps. So far, I haven’t managed to win a game, though it’s been pretty close both times. They seem to be having a good time kicking my butt, so I’m happy enough to provide the experience.
Our smallest child isn’t interested too much in playing, though she likes to watch and provide a running commentary. And a fairly snarky one at that. She also likes the mapbuilding aspect, and the map has been getting slowly larger and more elaborate as the week goes on.
She also displayed some interest in taking a non-Heroscape figure we found while gathering supplies in my office and working up a custom card for it. In just a couple of hours, she managed to work this up on her art tablet:
I should be clear that, while I did help with the wording a bit, all the graphics and layout is completely her work.
Anyways, that’s how we’ve been spending our week. Maybe I’ll have a more formal review of the new set next time.
