After a year or more of obscurity, Navia Dratp is starting to finally take
off.

The new 'Resurgence' set was released in fall, 2005, bringing the total
number of figures to 50.  The new figures are not only totally playable,
but have made the metagame extremely challenging as well.  There is now a
piece which can drain your opponent's gyullas, and also a
'super-queen'
that can move and jump in any direction (although it is expensive to
bring
out).

There's no doubt that ND's popularity was adversely affected by the
miniatures game glut of the past 4 years.  Many gamers had looked at the
game before and decided that it was 'one game too many to spend my money
on'.  But where other games continue to expand beyond their
enthusiasts'
ability to keep up with the ever-growing number of figures, ND remains a
small, balanced, and well-thought-out game.  Our local game store has
begun running weekend tournaments, and the number of participants has
been
growing steadily each week.  If you haven't tried playing yet, there has
never been a better time to start.
