As the name implies, these tiles are placed on the board itself. There are also some Order tiles used specifically for their faction, such as The Dragon’s Empire charge order.īoard tiles are further categorized into Banner, Champions, and Runes. It can be anything from moving a Champion to starting an Attack.
Order tiles represent different actions and are discarded once they are used. There are two different types of tiles: Orders and Board tiles. This banner is the objective and you win by destroying your opponent’s banner. You and your opponent will pick one of these factions and slap your banner tile onto the board. There are four factions and just as expected in these asymmetrical games, each faction has its own set of tools to mess around with. The board itself is hexagon-shaped with far less spaces than you would expect in a typical game about people beating the crap out of each other. Attacking is something you can’t control you draw an Order tile that allows you to attack or an attack starts when the board is full. Instead, you will draw a hand of three tiles, discard one, and play up to two. You don’t set up your army or even place them on the map at the beginning of the game. This is not a typical skirmish game though. Monolith Arena is a fantasy remake of this decade-old system refined with years of game design experience and we are going to see if it’s worth looking into. I just want to get that out of the way before going further ahead because it seems every review talks about their nostalgia over the 2006 game. There are many changes here with inconsistent results. In today's review, we look at this remake of the old Neuroshima Hex system.
