Precinct Omega Podcast - Design #18 - Gaming over the next 12 months

9th August was the arbitrary date I set for getting back to social wargaming and, with no sign on the horizon yet of anything radically apocalyptic to change that plan, it is time to make plans about what I'm going to play. Other than Horizon Wars games, obviously.
 

So, with that in mind, how can I choose from the plethora of excellent games out there which ones I'm going to focus on for the next 12 months? I think there's room for a maximum of three, but which three? Well, after a lot of thinking, I whittled it down to a long list of:
 

Infinity the Game 

Aristeia 

Kill Team (the new one)

Deadzone 

Warcaster: Neo-Mechanika 

Bushido 

Necromunda 

Spectre: Operations 

The Silver Bayonet 

WarCry 

and

Star Breach 

 
In this episode I rate each of these based on how much fun I think it will be, how innovative I think it is, how much money I would have to spend to play it, how good the local scene is and how easy it will be to find tournaments to play in around the UK. And, based on that, I make some qualified assessments of what I'm going to try out.
