I played my first two games of Infinity today with a friend who is really into the game. The game is fun but the lore seems to be dogshit. Like worse than 40k in some aspects. Given I only heard about if from my friend but from their explanation the factions seem to be weird.

Apparently one of the factions consists of a bunch of Cryptobros and Ancaps in space and has a subfraction named Bakunin. The China inspired faction is presented as the rival to the main power in the universe because they believe they should be the rulers of everything instead. I guess Haqqislam is pretty cool though so there is that at least.

Edit: Also just learned that Haqqislam has a unit called “Hakims” … and they are doctors.

What are your thoughts on the game?

    We only played Code One (which is a simplified set of rules, makes for more casual games since you don’t have to juggle as many rules.)

    And yeah. If what they told me is true then Ariadna is only holding together marginally and the militaries hate each other pretty much.

    But I am excited to play again. I bought the Haqqislam starter pack and will paint them on the weekend.
