Anyone fancy trying Underworlds Arena Mortis?

The single figure free-for-all variant. 3 to 6 players.

Rules in brief:

- Two decks, one of upgrades, one of gambits, each minimum ten, no more upgrades than gambits.
- Three card gambit hand, upgrades are drawn when needed rather than held in hand.
- Play on a single board with one Objective in the centre (counts as objective 1 in case that matters), holding it at then end of a round gets you glory, killing someone stood on it is worth double glory.
- The board counts as yours, enemy and nobody's territory.
- Start with a number of upgrades based on your health (2 or less health = 3 upgrades, 3 or 4 health = 2 upgrades, 5 health = 1 upgrade, Mollog = 0).
- Start inspired.
- You can only play gambits on your turn (apart from reactions) but they can be played before your action.
- If you're dead when its your turn you respawn inspired (overriding cruel taunt etc) with all negative effects gone, gain an upgrade and then activate as normal.
- Usual four activations a round, and three rounds.
- Player order of activation randomised every time (i.e. randomise four times every round).
- You can use your activation to remove a charge/move token.
- You can only spend glory for an upgrade in the end phase. And then only one per end phase.
- At the end the winner is the player still standing on the battlefield with most glory.

Looks silly fun and hopefully once we have some decks made can be pretty quick to bust out at the end of an evening.

Bloody ban lists get everywhere!

In assuming I'm around, though no idea with who.

I'm up for giving Mortis a try

[MoodyGit (Gary)]

I'm in and don't have to go on to work. Was going to have a reaver too so back to the pile.

The rules say you can only play one card in your phase beginning or end so no clever combos.

You can have grand concussion back now though.

Do the starting upgrades (for those that get them) come from your deck, or are they in addition?

And I assume that, because you start inspired, that the number of upgrades is based on your inspired health? (Important for Profiteers at least.)

From your deck. I reckon you need more than 10 or you’ll run out! Trying a 12/12.

And inspired health.
