Hello everyone, I am designing a game called Mech Deck and would love some feedback. You can see some pictures of it being played here: www.facebook.com/mechdeck

Thank you for checking it out!

Looks like a Wargame

With the board aspect - it looks to be a fusion of Wargame and Board Game. The use of 3D printed or molds for the figures makes it seem like a Wargame and then hex squares look like a Board Game.

That link looks like something similar: it's the NEW WotC/Hasbro game they are working on for Magic: the Gathering (the board game).

More about that from: http://www.magicspoiler.com/mtg-news/magic-gathering-strategy-board-game/

The theme is different - but the products look similar. Maybe you want to sue WotC/Hasbro - as I said the products look VERY similar!

All right!

I like it! I was actually contemplating the creation of a similar game, but I then realized that I just wasn't passionate enough about it to make it happen. If you'd like, I could share notes with you and/or provide some creative input. Feel free to post here or PM me.

Battletech

I shared it on facebook with a number of my friends who are big Battletech fans, and they "liked" it instantly.

Best of success on this project! :)

thanks!

Yes you got it perfectly right in my design goals for this game. A board game that feels like a wargame. I loved playing 40k and others like it but do not have the time for 12 hour marathons anymore. I wanted to capture that experience and feeling on a much smaller scale in my own way.

I have heard of the MTG tactics game and am excited to try it! I used to be really into Magic and have always loved tactics games.

Me suing Hasbro would be like an ant taking on a whale :)
