I recently had the chance to try out the new edition of A Fistful of Lead, which I'd never played before but which turned out to be great fun. Here's a three part report on the game and a brief review of the rules. link link link |

The card mechanism isn't gimmicky at all and really adds a tactical element to the turn sequence, which prevents too much planning in advance. It also adds an element of randomness to the game which makes it unpredictable and a lot more fun. No idea about the differences from the last edition as I haven't played it before. The author, Jaye Wiley, explained his thinking behind the rules on my blog..have a look there and you'll see why it all makes a lot of sense. In retrospect, I don't think it needs fixing with any house rules, unless they are part of a specific scenario and set of objectives. |
