While there are a few
board games out that are based on video games there are also those
that feel like you are playing a video game.
We have Gears of War,
Bioshock Infinite and the upcoming XCom and Witcher, which in some
ways capture those games they are based on, we also have games that
feel like a video game. Be it either their theme or even their
mechanics.
My inspiration for this
is due to playing a very JRPG game called Anima the Card Game, my
hopefully soon arrival of the Video Game High School board game and
the fantastic beat-em style game system Battlecon (another backed
KickStarter project I should have before Christmas).
I'll talk about Anima a
bit as it's not a new game, in fact the card game originally came out
in 2006 with a revised edition a few years later and two follow up
standalone add-ons.
