Pretty self explanatory, now that it's been out a while, how do you feel about it? I've played a couple games and love it so far. It's as in-depth as chess, balanced by the fact that it has the randomness of dice and the requirement of support for models. It's a nice combination of board and wargame. Also, I plan on painting my models and using them for the nature army for Kings of War. What about you fellas? I originally didn't plan to get in on it, decided to do it at the last minute, and I'm very glad I did. Very impressed, 9/10 for me.

So nobody else is saying anything...but I got a third group to play LOKA and it was quite well loved. One guy who I understand is sometimes picky with his games loved it and his eyes lit up at the end of the game when I asked him what he thought. It's been asked by him and a couple others to become a staple of Wednesday night gaming. I'll also have pictures of some elementals to post later.

Man, you guys suck-I can't be the ONLY guy on here playing LOKA, right?

I had a look at the Loka set, and I like the figures, dunno if Id manage to get people to play but I might still grab a set oneday soon.

I plan to buy an air set and a fire set someday. For chess. Or maybe Spell Chess.

I'm not really feeling left out at the moment.

I have the green/earth King, and having completed reading the published-thus-far Song of Ice and Fire books, I think I may end up using him as the ranger/warg guy.

Rest of it looked nice, but the integrated bulky bases turned me off of using them for minis wargaming.

With a sharp hobby knife you can pop them right off the bases. Not too hard. Put a magnet in and you've got pieces available for multiple games. That's what I'm doing-started it with the fire rooks already.

I seem to recall somebody acquring one my two pieces from the Xmas box. They seemed neat. Never been a huge fan of chess so I probably wont get the set. Seems neat for people in to chess or elementals.

I have no idea who you'd be talking about.


rassumfracking dakka doesn't do angel heads...Yak!! We need angel headed orks!

Got it as an add-on to the Tarot of Loka. Very pleased with the sculpts. Will probably magnetise as you suggested. The minis will probably get the most table-top time as Heroquest villains for my games with my girls... they'll make great thematic enemies.
