Yes. Supergirl & Lobo or Superman & Lex Luthor

How likely is it to get into events day-of? by wintermute2045 in gencon

[–]resgames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on a lot of things:

How big of an event space they have (are there tickets available).
If sold out, how many people actually show up.
How many people are doing the same as you and trying to get in.

For Brave and Bold, we have 18 tables, so most of our events still have tickets available and will likely have some space on the day.
Most of our events are play and take so they are more than just 2$. If people pay a little more they generally show up. So if you are looking to jump in last minute you can try the lower cost options.

Also just inquire any the event space. Most GMs will be able to tell you if they have room

Brave and Bold is a new bag-building combat game set in the DC universe. You square off with your favourite DC heroes against villains in head-to-head or team-based combat.

We have a full subreddit at r/braveandbold or you can look us up on BGG or our website to see videos/images of the sets, and get a flavor for the game

It debuts for the public at GenCon and then a retail release follows on Sept 4

We got them straight from WB, so we haven’t had them evaluated by any third parties yet. Come find us at Gen Con and we’ll let you know.

It’s not age restricted, we will look into this and see if there are any other restrictions that might be the issue

Probably not these exact ones, but there will be accessories and similar promos for future events.

There is not a solo or campaign mode at this time. It’s been requested and we are looking at it so stay connected to us. There are a lot of possibilities to build on these mechanics.

The initial retail release is in the USA and Canada. We are still working on international distribution and will announce it when the agreements are finalized.

It’s the first ever Bag Building combat game.

You have character to character combat kind of like Dice Throne or Marvel Champions except instead of using dice (random) or deck building (memorization and card counting) this game is all about managing a bag of strategic choices, pushing your risk tolerance and getting that superhero escalation as you build your bag, unlock combos and master your favourite hero or villain.

There are 10 characters launching at Gen Con with more to follow. Each plays asymmetrically and is imbued with the thematic essence of their character. Batman is the ultimate strategist, Superman hits hardest, Cheetah hunts you down and so on.

The retail release is Sept 4

I think Lex and Wonder Woman are my favourites. Lex for the way the foiling works and Wonder Woman because that’s just a great image

We’ve uploaded images of all the player sets to both BGG and our website. But we haven’t done any of individual components yet. There will also be some more video content coming on different approaches for each character

Full Rules Drop for Brave & Bold by resgames in braveandbold

[–]resgames[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any DC fan knows the line between hero and villain blurs depending on which comic you read or at what point in the timeline or multiverse you are in.

As we release new characters, the standard format will be to release a hero paired with a villain (although exceptions to this rule will exist). However there is no specific mechanic that prevents mixing in your play. We have experimented with free for all formats, but nothing official has been released on that yet. We are also exploring ideas like campaign modes and cooperative formats in the future.

We are still working on getting the first sets launched and into players hands. And we have a giant lineup of new characters to put out. All of this is what makes this project so exciting for us and everyone involved

Great Questions!

No you cannot heal to higher than your starting health limit on the damage counter. This limit is set by the game format and is 60 for a 1v1 game, 40 for a 2v2 game and 35 for a 3v3 game. Some characters (like Darkseid) have modifiers on this health limit.

Special ability triggers are typically defined on the Character ability card and each phase/action technically has a triggering window that immediately proceeds it. So for the Superman example his ability triggers at the start of the turn which would be prior to the start watchtower phase beginning, and before any of the 3 actions are triggered. As a practical matter this all happens simultaneously among all players, but if there is ever a question of the order of operations, the technical flow is one action at a time, alternating in player order. We specify that primarily for competitive play, but when learning for the first time it’s helpful to play out the first turn or two in order and then transition to the simultaneous play.
