The chaos, according to a popular internet encyclopedia, a state of complete disorder or confusion, and thus the antonym of the cosmos, the Greek word for order. Everyone should this concept of desks, children's rooms, and basements must be known. The Fantasy Flight Games is his game "Chaos in the Old World" event, again to deal with the chaos. The game handeltvom fight four rather unappealing gods who vie for Previously Completed the old world in the Warhammer universe. Each of these gods brings its own yoke over the mankind. Players take on a role as the beleaguered human race, but by the gods themselves

Inside the box is a lot of material. In addition to a very thematically illustrated, large game board, surveys, action and technology cards, figurines and markers for each of the four gods are mentioned. The offer is complemented by a plethora of markers and the scoring and "Old World" cards.

Each player takes the role of one of four gods and tried to enforce against the other gods. This requires that the regions of the ancient world are dominated and devastated. There are also in the old world victory points. If the first player reaches 50 points after the round ends the game and the most God with most points wins. But there is a second way to victory. Each of the gods has a wheel on the board. the player will behave as required by the model from the old world, the wheel is rotated. This gives the players victory points, or benefits such as enhancements to its own figures. At the end of each rotary wheel but is also the victory of God. So when a player reaches the end of its rotary wheel, he wins, no matter how many victory points he has.

A round the following schedule:

Old world stage:
One of the seven "old world" cards will be detected and evaluated. Is no longer there, the game ends and all the gods have lost. The players remain so up to seven rounds to win the victory. The cards include special events in the ancient world. It appear as heroes or rat-men in the various regions.

Summoning Phase:
Each player has on his map on a certain level of energy. These can be used to figures, or tickets to swear in the regions. The figures are cultists, fighters or large demons. The cards help players with specific actions or rule changes. It conjures up only one card, each player / character and then gives on to the next player.

Combat phase:
The regions are evaluated in a fixed order. In each region, in which there are figures that have fought and in which opponents or Bauer markers are present, it comes from the struggle. This is fairly easy. The gods are the dice in their fixed order of the series. For each character the player gets a certain number of dice. Each diced "4", "5" or "6" is a hit. Thrown sixes may be thrown even one more time to attack. The results will be distributed in connection to the opponent. Each character has a specific defense value. This must be achieved in order to defeat the figure. Then, the other player's turn. Figures are only defeated but umgebkippt and can attack again. At the end of the stage but all figures are taken from the defeated plan.

Verherrungsphase:

The regions will be evaluated again in order. First, the control of the regions examined. Everyone present God counts the number of characters and adds these values to the evocation of their own cards in the region. Exceeding this value is the value of the control region, the player receives the highest value as a simple replacement Beheer Chung the victory points. The control value is increased by each attending nobles and reduced by any present rat-men. The number of victory points for the control, however, remains the same.

Then allowed the players who cultists in the region have put a corresponding number Verheerungsmarker. Exceeds the sum of the Verheerungsmarker twelve, the region is devastated. This one Verheerungskarte is drawn. Is it the last card, the game ends after this round. Each Verheerungskarte designate a number of points for anyone who has put in this round Verheerungsmarker. But a victory points for the player who has the most and second most markers in the region.

Final phase:
All summoned cards are removed from the plan and the data collected in the other three phases brands are evaluated. This may all players who have at least a marker, a level turn. The player with the most markers can still turn an extra round.

Shall run the game, won by a player or the game ends after seven rounds with a defeat for all players.

Even if the game boasting a wealth of material, and special rules, a simple majority is in the core game. This is so far implemented well, but this mechanism does not make the appeal of this game. What sets this game from others is the asymmetry of the individual gods and the dials as a second chance to end the game. It is funded through the game and rewarded to behave the way it is expected by the gods.

This gives the Blood God as rotary marker when he defeated figures. This makes the game more dynamic between the fight gets to the regions and the resulting victory points, but also affect the turning wheels are in constant focus, and it very much.

Because of the theme, the playing time of about two hours and the material wealth of rules and the game is, however, clearly aimed at adults and advanced players. The number of players is a condition for the game. Complete it feels just as composed of all four gods, otherwise do the delicate balance between the gods and not quite the feeling ceases, which is missing something. Who the Warhammer universe exciting finds and / or would like to experience a special majority game, the chaos in the ancient world was to heart.
