I own quite a few expansions for this game. The Elf addition, Undead and Lizardmen addition and the entire Corruption cycle booster set. Its a very fun fast paced game.
Invasion is an excellent choice for gamers like me who adore the Warhammer universe, but simply can't afford to purchase a flagship Games Workshop wargame.
This game has turned out to be one of my favorites. FFG is supposed to be coming out with multi-player rules which will make it even more fun with a group.
Thanks Tom .. while I have disagreed with your top 100 game picks, etc. in the past. I think you do a very decent job reviewing games, etc. Thanks again and keep it up man!! Super useful stuff for your fellow board gamers!
It's just Empire, not Imperials, tom. They're just referred to as "The Empire" or just Men. Tabletop Warhammer teaches you these things, and Games Workshop teaches you to be even nerdier. I would look into it if I were you.
The system in this game is very similar to the way the Legend of the Five Rings CCG works, just simplified. I like it, but I want to know if the guy that designed it was an L5R player. L5R=best CCG ever IMO.
the funny part is that I actually watched the videos before I bought the game so as to have and idea what the game may look like. Unfortunately I didn't bring me to senses. Still there are many questions unanswered. I surfed through FFG Warhammer: Invasion forum but so far I have not found the answers needed. Probably I will post a new thread there hoping that there will some patient enough people to explain everything step by step.
A good review but for me a bit too late (so to say) as I got the game some time ago and I'm very disappointed. Too many questions pose the game rules and as I haven't played a lot of board games and card games as this one, I am really struggling with the rules and how to interpret them. Artwork is great, mechanics seems good, a lot of strategy (if examining the game closer) but the rules could have been more elaborate. This is the big minus of the game (for me) which makes me dislike this game
Great video!!! Highly informative and basically convinced me to get the game. Thank you!

Four decks? That's great!
The only other LCG I know (Blue Moon) just came with two decks...
The game sounds interesting, but I think I don't have a guy with whom I could play it often enough to make it worth to buy.

Game of Thrones comes with 4 as well. Not sure about Call of Cthulhu.

Nice review, but those aren't "axes" Tom. Seriously, what's the name of the game? ;)
Warhammer! And yes, those icons are indeed warhammers. :D
The game looks like something I'd really enjoy.

For those who are struggling with the rules, there is a rules explanation video from ffg here on youtube. That video will help to clear things up.

Cards played downside up are called DEVELOPMENTS. support card - type of card to support your zone.

Could Dominion be considered an LCG? When an expansion comes, you buy it and get all the cards...

LCG is what FFG call Expansions so yes and no
