Member-only story
Last Christmas I picked up a copy of Blackstone Fortress to play with the family. This didn’t quite work out how I hoped, as my middle son was still a little young to play. Nevertheless, I have continued to play the game with a couple of friends and recorded the experiences for our YouTube Channel, Agents of Sigmar.
This post, then, is not a full review, but a break down of my experiences about the game, and the things I like and dislike about it.
What is Blackstone Fortress?
Blackstone Fortress is the third game in the Warhammer Quest series, since its reboot in 2016. It’s also the first game to be set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. All previous incarnations take place in a fantasy setting. It is, in essence, a SciFi cooperative dungeon crawler. With awesome minis.
The game is designed for up to 1–5 players. With 1–4 players, each person takes one or more explorers. When 5 people are playing, the 5th player takes over control of the enemy miniatures, otherwise they are controlled by the game’s enemy A.I.
