Highlights
Quality
I have no idea how to play this but i love the figures and tokens that come with the box
It comes with the mini figures that are paintable so that’s pretty cool

Price
I bought this game on sale for 39usd which was a great price
I couldnt even find used ones for this price
Packaging/appearance
Was a big time dnd player back in the day 3
Competitiveness
Would recommend this to either complete dd noobs folks that are familiar with all the things
Got this as a gift for my 13yr old brother

There are a lot of things to keep track of and the descriptive wording on the cards could be more clear

There is a learning curve to the game so if you are looking to get a board game based on how quickly it can be set up this might not be the game for you
