Pros and Cons
Pros3

The play is elegant and sublime. The story is fun, the character progression is interesting and customizable. This is an exceptionally well crafted game.

The 20 lbs box comes with a ton of stuff. Recommend buying an organizer right off the bat.

It brings together the fun of a dungeon crawl adventure and the smoothness of a modern eurogame brilliantly. Play is your standard dungeon crawl with upgrades for your character and town. Game is challenging and entertaining.

Cons4

There appears to be a misprint or a weird cut with one tile page. There are a lot of boxes that i can't open without spoiling the game. The cardboard is low quality and many of the cardboard items have started to separate from one side.

This game is dnd without the roleplay and cards instead of dice. Any element of chance is pretty much dampened by the additional sets of cards you draw. A few gold, but not enough to even go back to town to get potions.

Game play might be said to redeem these issues. Everyone plays the same class the same way due to how horribly the game is balanced. It’s dull to play.

Small amount of lore in this game is nice but because there's is no rp and the game is mostly combat you never really notice that anyways. There is no real long-range strategizing possible since game play is pseudo-chance. The themes are largely deriv...  Read More

Learning curve is a bit high, but once you get the hang of it, you won't want to play anything else. The rules seem complicated when reading them to a group of people who never played, but a turn or two in everything clicked.

Terraforming mars is a fun euro-game! The setup is easy, gameplay is fun. This game is a gem and will challenge you.

I'm not normally picky about the quality of the components, but this game did seem to stand out as below the bar (again, definitely not a counterfeit) game itself is really great and while i think some of the artwork and component quality could be bet...  Read More

Best game since catan. Now, they are hooked. Good feature for kids who are still struggling with good sportmanship. My kids (teenagers) absolutely love this game.

Cons1

The manufacturing process for these cubes, which is a double layered plastic injection mold, is very complex. If you buy this and play it much, look to spend a lot more money on replacing the resource cubes and doing something about the paper-thin pla...  Read More
