Board Games with Scott 005 - Heroscape

Board Games with Scott is a weekly vlog where I explain and review a different board game each week. This week, I look at Heroscape, which is a commercially available miniatures battle game.

Please note that my review is not designed as a training video. I don't teach all of the rules - I just show you enough to help you decide if you want to buy the game.

Also, all BGWS episodes after 014 are over at http://boardgameswithscott.com and are not on YouTube.

Respond to this video... your mental

@idks98032 my mental what?

[fauztran]

Dolls.... is this guy for real?

[snicholson]

Yup, I'm for real.  I've been gaming for about 30 years, and always called them dolls, even back in my D&D days. So, it stuck.

This game is more than just two army's fighting, you can expand it as far as your imagination and your wallet goes

[Nikolatias]

Heroscape is real good game

It is not dumbed down at all. It is much simpler, which makes it more enjoyable to many people. It also costs significantly less, which is why I play it, since I don't have several hundred dollars to spend on dolls...

@the123hulk bonhommes translates into little men from the french version I'm bilingual I know ;)

[Jhaicwallace]

[Alucard20039]

[autumn2109]

Too bad the makers of this game stopped with Heroscape :(

[rcrunkle]

Dude ur awsome ur the 1 who got me to buy this and my friends always want to play it

[MrTipTop101]

have you ever tried the miniature game axis and allies miniatures? It is so much better.

Enjoyed that review. I have been playing Heroscape with my French neighbour for a few years. He always calls the miniatures "bonhommes" (buh-num) which seems to fit the bill perfectly. The rest of us anglophones have adopted that terminology and now we always call them that. Seems to be a better match than "dolls"....
