I recently bought the FRAG Gold Edition. It comes with a hard game board instead of the paper foldout maps. It also has tons of dice, plastic character figures, and dry erase marker character sheets. The only thing is it missing is five more dry erase markers\u00e2\u20ac\u201dit comes with only one that we were constantly sharing. We finally resorted to the age old method of using dice to make the changes on your character sheet. Even though the previous releases were pricy and had cheap components, they were all fun games to play. Buying the Gold Edition with the upgraded components was a must for any guy who owns all of those previous FRAG sets\u00e2\u20ac\u201dlike me.<\/p>\n
The dice hate me. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what I lamented all through the first game. Mathematically you have a 50% chance of picking up a gun or gadget when you move over a gun or gadget icon. I think I was closer to 20%. Ben on the other hand was closer to 80%. So I guess the math all worked itself out. Next time, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to be on the 80% end of the deal. So you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re probably thinking that Ben won. Wrong. It actually came down to a duel between the two frag leaders, Owen and Mike. Owen made his move first and had a really good chance of fragging Mike for the win. Unfortunately the damage rolls didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t go Owen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s way which gave Mike a chance to retaliate. Mike did and Owen died.<\/p>\n
Seeing how I did so pathetic in the first game I changed my character stats. When I was done, I had a Speed of 1. As Mike and Owen pointed out over and over again during the second game, even the game rules state that a Speed of 1 is pathetic. And they were right. Especially when playing the other<\/em> side of the game board. It contained six rooms, each with a spawning number and a one-way door. It was also filled with gun and gear icons. So you stayed in the room, filling up on guns and gear (except for the guy with a Speed of 1) and then exited to kill your opponents with your overwhelming firepower (except for the guy with a speed of 1.)<\/p>\n Once again Ben gathered up gun and gear like he was God\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gift to FRAG. That kept him alive, but still didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t win him the game. Once again we conceded the game to Mike. They did let me play my turn where I attempted to kill Ben–just for fun. Just for fun, I was pathetic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I recently bought the FRAG Gold Edition. It comes with a hard game board instead of the paper foldout maps.
