4 player Cutthroat

[Klaxas]

ok here is an idea i came up with. 4 players each with a half section of the premuim boad. each player places his starting units on his board as normal, and places the boards so the corners are touching the other boards.

in the middle is placed a custom board, which is 6X6 squares. this set up prevents any players from being attacked from the side. this means you have to venture into no mans land to attack.

rather than a baren landscape in the middle, walls could be placed eather randomly, by the players in turn, or in set evenly distributed positions. eather way these walls would be neutral, untill you got a unit to them and spent an attack action to convert them to your use. (rather than doing damage to them). you can take over an opponents walls in no mans land the same way, or maybe by spending 2 attack actions, i will have to test that. walls in a players home board cannot be taken over this way.

when a summoner dies, thier walls became neutral, (incuding any they owned in no mans land), last summoner alive wins. any thoughts?

Sounds fun. How do you set up the boards do the make the middle places Square or do you turn two of the side boards the short way?

ok like i was thinking set the 4 boards with the corners touching so the middle board (6X6) would be left open. so the end board would look something like this. each X is a space.


.......XXXXXX
.......XXXXXX < each side sticking out is a player board.
.......XXXXXX
.......XXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX < player board
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
.......XXXXXX
.......XXXXXX < player board
.......XXXXXX
.......XXXXXX

the middle board area thats 6X6 will have to be custom made. they would have to be larger spaces to fit the cards no matter which way they were rotated to show ownership.

with this much space it might be a good idea to use the larger deck idea i came up with under mega summoner wars.

i am starting to like this idea more and more although i have yet to be able to test it.

i think i will offically expand the card list for this varient, 5 walls, 5 champions, 1 summoner and events, 30 commons. this way you can build and still have units to summon and last the fight. but i will test it both ways.

cant wait to try this.

I like this variant, Klaxas.

I am curious, once you've tested it, to see what you've come up with and whether or not it works the way you envision it. I would definitely like to try this sometime when we have enough players in our group.
