Product Reviews

(4 stars) - Great game, overpriced by this vendor.
The MSRP for this item is 59.99. The first listed vendor on Amazon is selling it for 75.00+6.99 shipping? How do you justify charging $82 for a $60 game? What is with that price eSuperBooks?

I ordered it from Amazon for less than 40.00 with free shipping when it was released. The first print run sold out and the game is fantastic, especially if you are a fan of the Warhammer Fantasy universe.

Great game, buy it from someone other than eSuperBooks as their price is a rip off.

(5 stars) - It's Great to Be the Baddie
This game will ruin your game collection. All your other games will gather dust because Chaos in the Old World (COW) will be the only game that 3-4 people will beg to play.

COW is a game that has beautiful parity with diverse options to victory. Each player plays an evil god bent on destroying the world. The rules are simple. You summon creatures, play chaos cards, fight by rolling dice, then calculate points. Whoever has the most points wins.

How's that fun?

COW's master stroke is that each god adds its own flavor for playing the game. For instance, if you play Khorne, you are the blood god and relish the chance to attack other players much as you can. You get chaos cards that aid your bloodlust. By killing figures, Khorne also gains upgraded abilities through the game. Other players tend to flee from his reign of terror. The three other gods, Tzeentch, Nurgle, and Slaanesh, are much more subtle. For instance, each respective god can teleport, overwhelm, or control other players' figures. No god will ever play the same as the other 3. By playing as your god should, you stand an excellent chance to win.

Never does COW feel like playing solitaire. Each player is constantly watching the moves of the others and whispering to their fellow players in the hopes of creating fleeting alliances. The tension built during the game is astonishing as games are won typically by thin margins.

Chaos in the Old World's tension, variation, art, theme, and balance will have you and your friends lusting for more plays than other games. I cannot recommend COW highly enough.
