Worldbreakers: Advent of the Khanate Preview

Description provided by GideonsGaming on YouTube:

I'm not really one for previews but Worldbreakers is a special case for me given my attachment to Netrunner and its influence on the game. In this preview I go everything that Worldbreakers reimagined from Android Netrunners and what really sold me on the game, despite my Kickstarter fatigue. **Excerpt** I get a lot of emails asking me to cover upcoming board games on Kickstarter. I don’t usually do previews. In fact, this is my first one, I don’t cover them for many reasons. Because of Kickstarter fatigue, the fact that I don’t like using Tabletop Simulator for videos and well, I’ve got my hands full with other types of content. I made an exception for Worldbreakers, however. Why? Because of Netrunner. Android Netrunner is what really got me into hobby gaming. It was my first living card game after I swore off trading card games when I sold my Magic The Gathering collection and I adored it. Well, so did Elli Amir, the designer of Worldbreakers Advent of The Khanate. Worldbreakers is an upcoming card game that’s neither the trading nor living variety. It’s much closer to your standard boxed board games with plenty of room for expansion and much of it is inspired by Android Netrunner. Just have look at Mythium Fund and Hedge Fund! Don’t get the wrong impression, however. While Mythium Fund is a delightful nod to Netrunner, the two games are nothing alike. That’s what makes Worldbreakers even more intriguing. Worldbreakers isn’t a reskin or Netrunner copycat, but its influence can be felt through its mechanisms. Elli took the parts that made Netrunner so great and skillfully reimagined them into an entirely new game. You are a Worldbreaker, an individual in the late 13th century capable of harnessing the power of Mythium. You stand against another Worldbreaker wagering you’re wits and followers against each other in a literal power struggle. **Links** Worldbreakers Kickstarter on March 1st: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/elli-amir/worldbreakers-advent-of-the-khanate Written version of this video: https://gideonsgaming.com/worldbreakers-advent-of-the-khanate-preview/ My Discord: https://discord.com/invite/gA4GNHXuM3 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GamingGideon Twitter: https://twitter.com/GideonsGaming Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gideonsgaming/ 00:00 Overview 01:48 A Game That Clicks 03:39 Moves and Counter Moves 05:13 Flipping the Board 06:58 What Really Sold Me 09:03 Like and Subscribe Please
