TDG: Arkham Horror: The Card Game - Game Accessories unboxing with Ray

The Discriminating Gamer

The Men of Iron Tri-Pack features the first three games in the Series: Men of Iron (GMT): Men of Iron, Infidel: The Supremacy of Cavalry in the Crusader Era – 11th-12th Century, and Blood & Roses, plus the Battle of Agincourt from C3i #22.

The series is designed for quick learning and easy play. Game rules are short, there are no turns - play is continual, with opportunities to steal play from your opponent - and combat resolution is a single dieroll. Playing time is about 1-to-3 hours per battle.

The series is also for the gamer who enjoys playing solitaire. The system is designed for both individual and face-to-face play without any loss in insight or fun. It allows a player or players to see what happened in these famous battles and why. There are no purpose-built solitaire rules, but many players play that way. (From the publisher)
