Tempting — Battlelore: Command
Yeah, this little gem looks pretty cool. Yes, it comes in a bit pricy at under $10, but then again, it looks like there’s some serious gameplay value. The fine folks at PocketTactics pulled together a rather positive review: I’m starting to feel a bit spoiled. Seriously, what was the last major board game release that…
