When Toys Collide
Tomorrow, plastic appendages will fly as Gali, Berk, Ryan, Richmond (hopefully) and I go to another epic battle for the records. The time has come for another episode of Toy Warz.
Last year, Berk and I were talking about the idea of pitting toys together in a table top fashion, something like warhammer or the LotR tabletop but a lot easier on the wallet. We figured that we will use the toys we have and we will create a game of our own. This was the birth of it all.
The first people who played the game was Gali, Berk and I, one boring afternoon. It was fought to an agreed draw. The Gundams, Zoids and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fought valiantly and they have paved the way to the up and coming matches in the future. Back then, it was chaotic dice rolls, laws of physics, obstacle throwing, roof-popping, van-exploding, butt-kicking mayhem so who knows what will happen this time?
This time, we are coming with our real armies and set rules to equalize the game. We're talking about at least double the number of units! The setting will be up on Berk's top floor, giving us a wider battlefield and with more strategic allocations. Instead of three people fighting it out, now we have come to an expected five, each bringing an arsenal of techniques and styles of trash talking. Who knows what else can happen? Last time, the Turtle Van blew up annihilating almost every single thing in the 2nd turn! A Zoid blew up for no reason, God Gundam was wreaking havoc, Turtles were eating Turtles, all in one game.
I know it seems childish but heck, it's so much fun creating a game. It's Zoids, Turtles, Mage Knight and Warhammer tomorrow. It's going to be another epic game I reckon and this time, we will have it videotaped! I hope I can get pictures to show it here but until then, battle wages tomorrow and I can't wait.
