Question 1

How many clans, how many miniatures and what's the scale like?  I want to use for DnD, wargaming etc.

Accepted Answer

There are:4 themed clans1 leader per clan4 Sculpt A warriors per clan4 Sculpt B warriors per clan5 monsters which are roughly the same size as the clansThese are all a bit larger than standard 28mm scale.  There are 4 large monsters that are roughly twice as big.  There are also boat figurines, but they aren't to an appropriate scale for DnD.

Question 2

How does it compare to risk? risk is the only area control game i've played.

Accepted Answer

There are no dice used during the battles that determine whose clan will control an area. You match the strength of your figures (varying point values depending on the figures deployed) against the strength of everyone else's in that region, and everyone simultaneously plays a card from their hand. These cards might have an additional strength value (the orange player has figures with a total strength of "4" in the battle, but her card adds another "3," giving her a total strength of "7") while another player's cards might have text that forces everyone else to discard their played card, ignoring its value, and drawing a new one. A few particularly interesting cards give benefits to the player who LOSES the battle, such as points or better positioning as the game progresses. Because of game mechanics such as these battle cards and a host of others, the game has a very cerebral nature to it. You're not playing against the odds of dice rolls, you're pitting your wits against your opponents'.

Question 3

How fun is this game with only 2 players?

Accepted Answer

I certainly think it's fun at 2 players, however if you ONLY play exclusively with 2 then there are better options out there. So if you don't plan on playing with higher player counts EVER, then I'd pass. But if there's even a chance you might get this to the table with 2, 3, or even 4 (with the expansion) it's definitely worth it. A very fun game indeed.
