Is the mage knight tabletop game any good?
I collected the figurines as a kid and still have many of them.
Was wondering if the board game was worth it.

Games are fun. Play them. Sure it's fine.

It's pretty good. It's celebrated in the solo gaming community as being very in-depth and having a ton of replayability. And it takes place in the MageKnight setting, which I've always liked.

I used to play Mage Knight when I was a kid. I collected them and when the game dropped out of popularity I bought them all from my local game store in bulk for dirt cheap... I have no idea where all of them went, now.

Okay i see
Can you use old figures with it?

The board game is a rare gem that's better solo. I played it so much my csrds were getting worn out so I sleeved the entire game.

It is good, but do watch a play video first, it's very different from whatever you were used to, the setting is probably the only thing in common and even that is more of just a flavor thing.

Not really, unless you really want alternate sculpts for the heroes.

So don't play them. Or befriend people who have games and could use players.

It's one of only two board games I've been addicted to. The other being Terraforming Mars. It has my favourite card synchronicity of any board game. Like others said, best solo, or maybe two highly experienced players.

I never had them, reading up on them is just confusing to me.
So they’re kind of an RPG but also an empire building game where you traverse a hex map as a single character?

So there's 2 MAge Knight games.

One is the collectible skirmish game from the 00s, where you buy booster packs of random characters gacha style (like CCG boosters) and their gmmick is the "clicky" rotating base of stats. The same gimmick was used for a Marvel/DC game called HeroClix, as well as Mechwarrior: Dark Age.

The Mage Knight board game is a standalone, non-collectible board game (it also has expansions, but there's no gacha aspect). The only "clicky" aspect is the city tokens which only really use the rotating base to set the difficulty of attacking that city. The game is a puzzly action optimization game with a slight deckbuilding aspect, with several scenarios, usually with the objective being to conquer a number of cities within a limited amount of time. Your actions are limited by your deck, when your deck runs out it ends the round.

It's fun, you will mostly be playing it solo, very hard to get to the table for multiplayer as it's long and AP prone with a lot of downtime.

Is there a database of units the collectible game that has full pictures of the clicky wheels or their data?
