I think saying they wasted time getting on the board once was probably sufficient, but repeating every 2 wks or so? Dude, get over the fact your game sucks and you got a bad reveiw.

You are supposed to have a character out from the start to avoid the rolling for "5 minutes" which was probably an gross exaggeration as rolling straight for 5 minutes I find it hard to believe you didn't get a 1 or 2, especially when 3 gets you another turn.

So while I can see that it was pretty dumb to spend the first several turns just rolling a die and doing nothing, you guys played that part wrong.<br /><br />You might have still hated the game, but it might have colored your perception from then on out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-19881736166059655402012-03-01T14:01:16.514-08:002012-03-01T14:01:16.514-08:00It took us a couple games before we were playing a...It took us a couple games before we were playing according to all of the rules. I didn't even need to finish reading your review to see that you too failed spectacularly at following the instructions. Each player starts with one character out. That would have fixed your slow start.

It is loads of fun and great variety. I am surprised to see such over the top negative review of one of my favorite new games but everyone has different tastes. Maybe because this game is more fun than strategic. I am not a big fan on the resource managing games so this is more my style.I have also seen very positive review or two out there. It is confusing to know if this is a good game or not because of conflicting reviews and comments. I would suggest resaerch multiple sources and decide for yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-74530811594102447192011-11-01T01:09:32.010-07:002011-11-01T01:09:32.010-07:00Damn, what a shame about this game.

Yet I enjoy the lack of candy coating on this review simply because I enjoy straightforward candor considerably more than tap dancing around the point.<br /><br />I really want to like this game since for the most part it is very pretty. And I am a sucker for games with such high production values.<br /><br />I wonder if it would be at all possible to make a decent game out of this, perhaps by porting over the mechanics for Okko into it or something... Sadly, I am not rich enough to spend $70 just to find out.Wiz-Warhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10500314834890704482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-72412035495641617852011-09-23T00:05:14.457-07:002011-09-23T00:05:14.457-07:00That does mean she gets to play with a new boyfrie...That does mean she gets to play with a new boyfriend though, so you know, silver lining.Chris Cisnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-86901206749650179842011-09-22T20:52:08.004-07:002011-09-22T20:52:08.004-07:00Unfotunately, the wedding never occured because th...Unfotunately, the wedding never occured because the groom rolled a five.Sue Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-11962208896012926082011-09-22T19:23:26.466-07:002011-09-22T19:23:26.466-07:00Usually, I delete spam as soon as I see it.
