Recently I was delighted to hear that a local club was going to be running a Space Gits event, where you could show up, build a few gits, and play. As it's part of my 6x6 challenge and I had some gits painted, I showed up to get a few games in.
Both games were simple affairs using the quickstart rules - three orcs each, either with blasters and headbutts or pistols and hand weapons.
The goal was to collect as many bottle caps as possible either in 30 minutes or when everyone was knocked out.
The biggest draw of the game is its dexterity-based gameplay. Players move and shoot in the direction that the dice roll, representing drunken orcs stumbling around and firing wildly. Even damage is represented by dice towers that have to move with the orc they're attached to, and if the tower falls over, the orc drops to the ground, drunk and inchoate!
It's definitely not a serious game, and you have to be in the right mindset for it. There's going to be a lot of eyeballing whether a die is aligned with an orc you're shooting at, or if you've got to fudged a little movement.
Hilariously, we had to move over to a side table in the second game, which meant a reordering of the table and a tarp that made moving way harder! Apparently our orcs chugged a few more beers during a smoke break...
