Love the Discworld Board Game, but i wish they had taken care of the big issues it had. In Discworld 4 from 5 Games are won by Vimes if he is in the game, because most of the time you'll run out of cards. Since they just reskinned Vimes to Sherlock, that player is going to win mostly, while the "8 trouble marker" condition is very hard to achieve (nearly impossible...). After we played a lot of Discworld this are the best 2 ways to win: 1. Always keep 5£ for the case, that you need to defend yourself 2. be Sherlock
dpotter2113 I am sure it’s better than just letting the game die? Yes, we had the chance to buy the game back when it was discworld themed, but newcommers to the hobby don’t have that option
Miniatures are KS fodder. Victorian theme does not add anything to the game, card text is hilarious in how bland it is and not actually anything to do with the characters.
Hardly, but it did happen once in the time period in question, so to imply that it couldn't happen in the game during the same time period seems like you're harking on the game for a different reason or just to be rude.
I've nothing against the game, just pointing out the absurdity of building destroying earthquakes in London. You obviously missed my attempt at humour but, sticking to facts, Colchester is over 50 miles from London and the geology is quite different. Wikipedia lists a very few, much smaller, earthquakes in or close to London.
"New citizens" lol, the sheet clearly calls them immigrants. Are we afraid to get demonetized?
The art is really nice. I like the Victorian London theme.
I like the Victorian theme better than discworld ! Already backed!
New citizens? You mean immigrants. We're not bloody idiots.
A reskin of Ankh-Morpork.

There's too much to choose from on Kick Starter... I can't keep up :(
so, a reskin of Diskworld?
richard scales That’s what the KS says all over the campaign page, so...yes?
I haven't seen that so....
hardly wait for the game ......
The cover character looks like Michael Jackson.

Strip away an amazing theme, slap on public domain characters, and give it one of the worst names in board gaming... sounds just wonderful.

I agree the game should get a reprint, even with a new theme, but this appears to be a lazy attempt at it.
dpotter2113 Yes, new miniatures, new art, double sided board, artbook. How lazy of them

The Dr. Jerkyll/Mr. Hyde card lets you switch your identity. At least that one is thematic
Total reskin Martin W....DiscWorld is a beaut game. Like the N N art. But i already gots Discworld, with its terrific art style already.
Earthquakes destroying buildings in London, really! You lost me there.

My brother's about to move there, do you think I should warn him?

So its just an ugly version of Discworld it seems.
Discworld is a way better theme. Pity.
