The Undercity is a cooperative, dungeon crawling adventure game with a seven scenario campaign for two to four players. You gain XP and can add abilities to your heroes. And though mostly a tactical combat game, there are varying goals from scenario to scenario. Read the review |

Every time I approach Iron Kingdoms, it sounds fantasy meets steampunk, and nothing Victorian about it. Someone set me aright? Doug |

Nope, you've got it right, it's not remotely Victorian SF in the original sense. But a lot of people conflate VSF and Steampunk, so I can understand the cross-post. -Will |

Steampunk wasn't far removed from VSF back in the early days, but it soon started to get applied to all sorts of fantasy stuff (even if even it never was "hard" science fiction to begin with) that might be more informatively referred to as "industrial fantasy" (a name rarely used since it doesn't sound as bankable as whateverpunk). WARMACHINE is definitely industrial fantasy but I personally don't see much or really any "punk" element in there. That element might be in the Iron Kingdoms RPG books of course, or heck even in this board game's background. Have not read any of those. |

Steampunk wasn't far removed from VSF… Debatable, but I won't here. ;->= But, thanks all! Doug |
