Here are the show notes =
'Brian rolled this...'

Despite some considerable time arrayed as the Four Ruinous Powers of Chaos, (see our previous jaunt through the Wastes of Chaos) we have to take on their personalities again as we review the game Chaos in the Old World (2009) by Fantasy Flight Games. We unbox the game, resplendent in its dark, menacing, and morose artwork, to consider the shed load of stuff that lays within. Will all the pieces entice and seduce like a Slaaneshi Seductress?


00:26 'nice and dark, and mad'
01:37 'chunky, most of them'
02:47 'like stretched skin'
04:49 'not all equal'
06:10 'the names are quite fruity'
08:31 'a shed load of tokens'
10:00 'boingy flower thing'
11:42 'one for each Power'

Part 2:
In which we consider the 4 Ruinous Powers themselves:

'lovely looking dudes...'

Having previously unboxed Chaos in the Old World (2009) by Fantasy Flight Games, we take a look at each of the Four Ruinous Powers, pondering on how best to play each of them, or avoid if it's Khorne, so as to beat the others into a bleeding mess! They are not at all similar in play style, and not only do you have to play your side in a unique way, your opponents are doing the same.

00:29 'you'd think they'd all be the same'
01:29 'go out and kill...'
04:35 'very cheap'
07:31 'keep away...'
10:33 'very flexible'

Part 3 (Game Turn Part 1)

Having considered the unique forces within Chaos in the Old World (2009) by Fantasy Flight Games, and how they could play, we now look at how to start the game itself: with the initial set-up and placing of tokens, drawing of various cards, to summoning your forces in preparation of utter World Dominance!!


00:32 'fairly straight-forward'
01:53 'warpstone...peasants...nobles'
05:53 'deal seven'
07:57 'master your cards'
10:59 'a major part of the game'

'ruddy peasants!

Having previously shown the first part of a typical game turn of Chaos in the Old World (2009) by Fantasy Flight Games, we conclude with an explanation of the final elements of a game turn: battle, domination, and corruption; concluding with our individual summations of the game. Do all the tokens, cards, and bendy pieces make you want to kill, befuddle, be-plague, and seduce time after time?

00:35 'four axes...'
02:36 'where is the peasant in all of this?'
03:38 'two shields...'
05:39 '...just to dominate'
07:45 'a two-fold thing'
09:42 'towards fifty'
13:43 'four races to master'
