Throwing Down in Glasgow! The GUGS Shadowfist Playgroup

By Lars Strobaek

Glasgow University Gaming Society first started playing Shadowfist sometime in the mid-early 2000’s, when members Tom and Al saw a bunch of cards on sale for cheap in the local gaming store and decided to try it out. They got hooked soon after, convinced others of the game's greatness, and the rest is history. Tom is currently our Silver Band representative, and he regularly runs tournaments and demos and helps people get started with the game. In total there's about a dozen of us who own cards and regularly play. Here’s a list of the usual suspects, including trivia about their (according to me) Favourite Faction, Signature Card and Characteristic Quote.


Playing in the Sand: Shadowfist in Iraq

By Daniel Griego

Playing in the Sand...

My introduction to Shadowfist came about began back in the Daedalus days at a local San Antonio gaming convention. Peter “Red” Trudell presented me with the game and gave me my first deck, featuring the Architects, during his demo. Later during the con, I played in my first Shadowfist tournament and I knew right away I’d found a great game. I kept it up for a while but dropped off after the Daedalus fallout. After dusting off my collection several years later, I made an active attempt to see what had come of the game and to find a new group. As luck would have it right around the first printing of Red Wedding I came upon Red and his group and they eagerly welcomed me back into the game.. I’ve avidly enjoyed the game ever since.
