Alright, enough about price. How about some talk about game play. What's it like? How long is a game. Best with other Geeks, or will I be able to talk my wife into playing?
glennacThis is actually in my top 3 games. You probably won't be able to talk the wife into playing. I tried with mine but probably better suited for other geeks. The shortest game I've played was near a hour but it's typically 2-3 hours. Once you and your group of friends get into a rhythm with it the game plays faster. While one person is on the second step of their turn the next up should be starting the first action of their turn (it's good to play with people you trust not to cheat or take advantage of people spreading their attention around). The re-playability is amazing and strategy changes based on the character your dealt and even that changes based on the secondary movement board you receive (it's best to always randomize both of these boards). I find that if the red character board is played correctly they have a bit of an edge over the others but when playing with multiple people who know the game you can put a stop to that advantage. The expansions really add cool elements to the game and it is such an amazingly developed game. I will always recommend this to anyone who loves big board games.
It is just annoying because this company should understand that for waiting months, people want a price of at least 15 - 20% savings vs other online stores all in with taxes and shipping. In the US that is at least vs. Amazon. Otherwise they are wasting their time with these drops.
