You know, he’s already really self-conscious. Calling him “thing” isn’t helping.
A board game? When the Ghostbusters saved New York, they got a key to the city. Mariano Rivera got a throne made out of bats. The Avengers got shawarma. And we get a board game?
To be fair, what Auroch Digital are offering here isn’t your aunt’s sitting-room copy of Pictionary: it’s a 1980s-vintage Chainsaw Warrior set. To win this fine artefact, you have to upload a video of yourself saving New York from an invasion of trans-dimensional zombies (the worst kind) in Chainsaw Warrior, send a link to gtn@aurochdigital.com, and they’ll choose an exceptional entry to receive the original Games Workshop board game from 1987.
When I reviewed Chainsaw Warrior last year, it was probably my favorite least-favorite game of 2013. The game is a reverently accurate resurrection of the masochistically unfair Games Workshop titles of the 1980s, and thus wasn’t to my taste. But the production of the game itself was so professionally done, I still hold it up as one of the exemplars of digital card game translations. Watch the trailer after the break just to catch some of the music.
Chainsaw Warrior is available on iOS, Android, and PC too — and Auroch have put it on sale for the moment. If one of you wins the game, you gotta send us pictures of it. And we can go get shawarma.
