David Charleston, now known as “Steelslayer,” and the rest of the Reckoners attempt to bring human governance back to Newcago and continue on their quest to liberate the oppressed peoples of the Fractured States. However, the Epics will not be so easily stopped. With new allies and challenges ahead, can you live up to the Steelslayer name?
The Reckoners: Steelslayer is an expansion to The Reckoners board game containing four new modules. These elements can be added separately or together in any combination.

5.0 - My absolutely favorite games. You can pry them out of my cold dead hands.
4.5 - Love this game! At the same time missing something that would make it a 5. Could be hard to table, lacking variability, a little light, etc.
4.0 - Really great game, almost always keeping, although has meaningful complaints as to what takes away from the experience.
3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, may lose out to better games but the idea of never playing again is a bit sad.
3.0 - A good game, would play and suggest with the right people, if I never played it again wouldn't lose any sleep.
2.5 - A game I'd play again , but will never suggest it myself
2.0 - A game I don't want to play again
1.5 - A game I can't find any reason to recommend
1.0 - A game that is just bad.

    Thanks for doing a review that actually specifies whether there are new regular Epic characters included, rather than just referring to the new versions of old Epics as "new Epics" and not specifying if any of the epics in this are new characters like apparently every single other review ever.

    Thanks Alex! Very helpful. I just picked up the base box and was overall quite impressed, but was also concerned about long term replayability, so I'll see where this lands after I teach and play it a bit. Right now I'm pretty positive on it, as it feels like it bridges a gap in time and complexity between games like Marvel United and Darkest Night which have similar game flows, but waaay opposite ends of the spectrum for time and brainpower needed. Good stuff!

    That's a good assessment - the base game is friendly, not too complex, and a great deal of fun, but it definitely hits a long term replayability / variety limit. The expansion should really help with that.

    What would you say is the "weight" of the game with this expansion? Great review. I also listened to the entire book series through Audible while doing my evening runs.

    My biggest issue with Reckoners is that the dice type become irrelevant pretty quickly as they aren't all that varied and there is so many ways to convert one dice result into another. At about the half way mark, it was just about the number of dice rather their type and results.

    Not sure if you’re excited or not but I’m pretty sure Glass Cannon Unplugged is teasing a Dying Light board game.

    This game seems 100% unavailable anywhere online. Stores, 2nd hand market, eBay, anything. Seemed like it had a decent KS for core + the expansion KS later. I guess everyone just loves the game?
