WW1 anteater wargame Quar gets a new starter set

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA skirmish wargame called Quar: Clash of Rhyfles has a new starter set, and it's about anteater-lizard creatures fighting in World War One style trenches.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOsgood Larkspur is a professor of miniature conflict who says he predicted this, and its opposite. Professor, thanks for being here. Which did you predict?

3. OL

   Osgood LarkspurBoth, Hank. I said it would sell out and I said nobody would buy it.

4. OL

   Osgood LarkspurThe previous beginner box became very hard to find, so I was right twice.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe new set came out Friday from Wargames Atlantic. What does it cost?

6. OL

   Osgood LarkspurNinety-nine ninety-five. Plus a small handling fee, which I'd call a hundred and four.

7. OL

   Osgood LarkspurEach time I read my copy of the rulebook the number goes up a little.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe report says ninety-nine ninety-five in the US. So is it a hundred and four?

9. OL

   Osgood LarkspurA hundred and nine, with the dice.

10. OL

    Osgood LarkspurIt has twelve figures per side, twenty-four in total. Historians say the trenches took a generation, and this takes a credit card.

11. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwenty-four figures.

12. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPlayers don't know at the start of each turn how many moves they'll get. Is that a design choice?

13. OL

    Osgood LarkspurYes, and it's the most accurate part. No general ever knew how many moves he had.

14. OL

    Osgood LarkspurThe players also spend something called pluck, and I've spent a lot of mine on this book.

15. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe game is described as inspired by a child's loredump. Is that who we're taking advice from?

16. OL

    Osgood LarkspurI read it every night, Hank, and the price is a hundred and fourteen now. I will not be taking questions about the child.

17. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwenty-four figures, a rulebook, and nobody's home by Christmas, which at that price is accurate.
