The La Résistance is Live (and my thoughts on that)

So, here we go. I’m excited, optimistic, and scared.. La Résistance is a game that wargamers can relate to. Nope, it’s not hard-core hex-and-counter, but the game has deliciously rich strategy. I like that. It also has a premise and mechanic that welcomes all gamers. I’ve spent more time playing La Résistance with my family than I have spent playing every game I designed for Lock ‘n Load, Armchair General, Tiny Battle, and Flying Pig combined. I think that is a good thing. I’m excited to fund this game.

I’m excited because this is a new road to travel. There are no combat factors, although the dice and their difficulty indirectly represent those factors. Plain and simple, this is something new for us, and I’m excited to see what it does.

I’m scared. A little. Plain and simple, this is something new for us, and I’m afraid of what it might NOT do. After all, the folks that usually buy my games love those hex and counter games that La Résistance isn’t. Heck, I love those hex and counter games too. And I hope that those same people, those hex and counter people, give La Résistance a try. I know they’ll love it.
