TDG: Snap Ship Tactics: Swarm Box
Transcript
Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the discriminating gamer. You know, I'm super disappointed. I was so close to winning the most congested nose competition, but then I blew it. Ladies and gentlemen, today we're going to go ahead and take a look at Snap Ship Tactics Swarm Box from Snap Ships. Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, Snap Shship Tactics Swarm Box. This is an expansion to the Snap Ship Tactics starter box. What this brings to the table are four new drone ships, four new drone designs. You can play these things um out of the box with the starter set, but essentially you can build and construct these um new ships and there's also some bonus pieces that you can add and play around with with either the ships from this set or from the existing starter box. So, what's cool here is you can actually uh have bigger battles and you can actually play with uh with this with two of these uh ships on the board per team. So, that is really cool. Um Ray came over and we actually played this game a couple of times um with some some of the different configurations. I forgot how much I love Snap Ship Tactics. It's a toy and yet it's a really really fun game, a really fun miniatures game. Uh the rules here again are great for for for movement. I love the tools here. They're simple and very effective. Um but also kind of the tools for the combat for firing at your enemy.
And I love the fact that you got the little cards out and you've got I think fewer cards here than you have for the for the bigger ships. But then if somebody hits it, you know, and they you roll a crit, you got to flip it over, it's broke. It costs uh uh some of the cubes to repair them. And it's cool here because you got, you know, again that that that tradeoff of how you want to use your cubes. You only have so many blue cubes that you pay for the the different things you want to do, but then also too, you may take some of the heat from the red cubes that you've got to put on there. It's a great system. It's a fun system. And this box, this new swarm box brings you some some fun new and interesting ships, some great new designs that are in the box. Some that you can combine with the ships from the base game. And it's just a whole lot of fun. Like I say, Ry and I really dig this game. And I don't know what's going on because Ry is nine times out of 10, Ry is the absolute dice roller you'd ever want to meet. He jokes about how bad he is at dice, but for some reason when we play snap ships, he always wins.
I always roll bad and he always rolls great. I don't know what it is, but we had a blast. I I think this is so much fun. I'd like to get an even if I had a bigger table, I'd get an even bigger um battle here with some of the original ships and some of these ships and just have a battle royale. Really, really, really, really love Snap Ship Tactics as a system. And this box just brings more of a good thing to your table. Uh, so on the Cody scale, I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to give Snap Shship Tactics Swarm Box an eight out of 10. It's great. Thank you once again for joining us today on the Discriminating Gamer.
