Kingdom of Heaven Is Near

Kingdom of Heaven is about 35 away from reaching pre-order and Brestian is starting to talk it up a bit to get it over the top. This one looks like a perfect fit for me.



From the looks of it the game comes with an actual short sword, which may account for the higher price. $60 preorder, $80 MSRP. It's a shame I can't pick up my copies at MMP as I drive right by it twice each day.

While on the Pre-order page I naturally looked for What Price Glory and found it conspicuously missing. If only someone here on F:At had an idea of when it might appear on the list.

It sounds really interesting but without reading the rules I'd be throwing my money in the garbage. It could turn out to be like that other Starkweather abortion A Victory Lost.

AVL wasn't that bad, although it is a little overrated on BGG. I just don't like crusades games very much.

Same here. The game could be great, but I just don't have a strong interest in the era. I'd play it, but I'm not keen on tossing down $60 in a hope to see tabletime.

I'm saving my pennies for when they get the missing countersheets printed for all those incomplete Warriors of God copies.

What does Starkweather have to do with Kingdom of Heaven??

My mistake, I was thinking of Warriors of God.

The topic is Kingdom of Heaven people -- let's try to stay on message at least through page 1.

There is pretty extensive material to look at regarding game play on CSW at talk.consimworld.com/WebX?50@6.BJqSfNcJaUK.19@.1dcf435f and a bit more on BGG at www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/25900 .

I agree -- a rulebook or even and extract from it would be valuable. But I've heard very good feedback on this one from two people that sat down with the development copy.

I've ordered two in the hopes that selling the second copy at or near MSRP when it becomes harder to find will defray part of the pre-order cost of the first. Given MMP's short print runs the pre-order price is likely a pretty safe floor for resale. I'm blessed with income right now so I can wager a bit, and with luck this strategy will mean my copy costs me $40 plus shipping.

I'm pretty sure he didn't write A Victory Lost either.
