The board is heavy, but covering on the bottom allows it to effortlessly slide around. The engravings around the outside and addition of the medusa medallions in the corners is just a sight to see. Very happy with this purchase.
The designer is a literal expert on the subject and put a lot of work into taking those 3 hour/novel sized rule games and putting the heart of them in an easier mechanic. It plays like it, they are clever at adapting rules to fit.
Fast paced and very replayable. A variety of objectives creat a lot of replayability. The crafting mechanic is very cool.
