Absolutely loved playing Blood Rage at the CoolMiniOrNot booth. Each player controls a Viking clan fighting for glory as Ragnarok approaches. The clan with the most glory at the end of the world wins.
It's a unique strategy game with great RPG elements. The card drafting system is a solid power distribution mechanic, and the pace of the game keeps you thoroughly engaged. While this is a competitive game, none of the competitive mechanics feel spiteful--which is a huge feat in and of itself.
The mechanics are simple to pick up yet rich with strategic depth. The lack of differentiating factors between clans is a bit of a weak point, IMO, as it potentially limits replay value (though the depth of strategy certainly helps in this regard).
Do I even need to mention how awesome the minis are? Overall, we give it a solid thumbs up.
