Origins
2001 - Injurius Games
We ran this game morning and evening every day, and
every player who played it liked it, and we figure about 75% really
liked or loved it. The game is very dynamic, with the onus on speed
of play, simplicity and growth potential. During each match, the rules
are simple, allowing players to get into the action with less than
10 minutes learning time. Between matches, the players get to apply
upgrades to their gladiators before throwing them back into the fray!
This combination of ease of learning and team improvement makes the
game very addictive and compelling. Go to Injurius
Games Page for more details on the game.

The guys in desert colors had a real mad on for
the boys in red, white and blue. The squad leader on the bridge
was only the first to charge out for glory - he was also the first
to go down.

Same game, overhead view of the opposite corner.
Note the woodland camo cloth used for the grid - bought at a cloth
store for a bargain price. The terrain is all from Armorcast,
by the way.

A far shot of the same game with the red, white
and blue guys running towards the far end. Note the Squad Leader
from the desert colored team still running after them!
|
A far shot of another running of IG - much more
open terrain. Michel called it his "Temple of Evil Mushrooms"...
not sure if the shrooms had any effect on the boys, but we guarantee
they all had a good time!

Our 8 player Injurius Games session. We used a bigger
mat (5' x 5'), and put in 8 starting positions. We got 'em all filled
up, and the carnage was spectacular. Here you see Team Brazil squaring
off against Team USA.

Same game, different corner. I (Richard) was running
the black and yellow guys for a player who had to leave, and I have
to say I sucked - dice just would not come up good. It was bad,
but it was fun to play IG at a convention anyway.

The 8 player game from another angle. Note Michel
"Meat Grinder" Smith getting ready to turn over another
card.

A shot of my "Mercury" terrain for Injurius
Games. This terrain is all scratch-built from cardboard and styrofoam,
and cost approximately 20 buck for all of it. The mat cost more
- it is made of that rubbery stuff you use to stop carpets from
sliding around.
