This evening’s event was last live event for a few weeks due to holidays. I was, therefore, hoping for a good result to tide me over until the next event later in the month. I was delighted to get another 3 out of 3 wins at Geek Retreat in Leeds, winning a pair of BruteContinue reading “Armory #9”

It had been quite a few weeks since my first draft event, which I enjoyed immensely, so I was very much looking to my second draft. I was particularly excited as this was my first such event at Geek Retreat in Leeds. As mentioned in previous posts, I started playing at Geek Retreat as aContinue reading “Armory #8: Draft #2”

As I’ve discussed in previous posts, Flesh and Blood is a game designed to be played…well with real-life flesh and blood opponents. There is nothing like the real-world experience of sitting across the table from a real person and going head to head in battle. However, there are occasions when playing IRL is just notContinue reading “Playing Flesh and Blood online”

Disappointment is really the only word that can describe my feelings after my latest Armory event at EH Gaming. Coming off the back of a three from three win at Geek Retreat in Leeds the previous Tuesday, managing only one win out of three on the Saturday brought me down to earth with a bump. IContinue reading “Armory #7”

Today was another Flesh and Blood first for me, my first game away from my ‘home’ store. It would have been very easy for me to just carry on attending the events at EH Gaming (and I definitely will continue to play with the guys there), slowly improving and getting a few XP points eachContinue reading “Armory #6: Far from home”

So, today was a really interesting event, a Blitz Armory event but with a difference – no limits on the cards that could be played. Up until now, events I have attended have had a ‘cap’ on card rarity, i.e. no Legendaries of Fables. This made a lot of sense as many of the playersContinue reading “Armory #5: Legendary and Fabled”

It is clear from reading about Flesh and Blood that the developers spent a lot of time thinking about the sealed and draft formats of the game. For those new to TCGs, the sealed format is where you open six booster packs and build the best deck you can from the cards you have. InContinue reading “Armory #4: The first Draft”

Flesh and Blood is all about the physical experience of coming together with other like-minded players and pitching your favourite hero against one of the many fascinating and wildly different foes. Each character has their own story, their own place in the mythology of Flesh and Blood – a world and lore that is continuallyContinue reading “The first event”

I decided to start writing this blog shortly after I was introduced to Flesh and Blood at my local game store. I have always been a fan of board games and very much enjoy playing these with my family. Ticket to Ride, One Key, When I Dream, and Forbidden Island are amongst our favourites, andContinue reading “My Road to Rathe”
