Yet another year has gone by since our forefathers here in the United States penned their revolution against British oppression.
We’ll all be celebrating in the usual manner (at least here in America) with cookouts and such into the late evening hours when the fireworks go off.
Declare Your Gaming Independence: Happy 4th of July
In the gaming world, a lot of similarities can still be drawn to what is happening currently, with the actions of our forefathers long ago. Are you playing new games now, and getting away from that old European flavor?
Four years ago Age of Sigmar burst onto the scene, and just weeks ago got a fresh update to the very same game.
Plus of course, two years ago we had what may be the most successful reboot of Warhammer 40k yet, in 8th Edition as Games Workshop has arguably closed the gap with its competitors like Asmodee Games.
Now Star Wars Legion will be getting a new edition soon in Clone Wars. 9 months in X-Wing 2.0 is still holding on sales-wise in stores.
Plus there are a ton more games out there to play, with many many new ones appearing each month, all vying for your hobby dollars!
As two big price hikes have hit already for Games Workshop in 2019, let us know if your gaming habits have changed this year an why.
Today is your chance to pen your very own “Gaming Revolution”!
Have fun and stay safe this holiday folks!
