I've heard it does a great job.<br /><br />When I played it I was upset when I kept trying to keep my guys alive, but once I realized the nature of it was that chaos and constant recycling of items and characters, I actually had a ton of fun.<br /><br />But I can understand why it woud be frustrating, it's understandable.Enriquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013606211851487172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-91599551165852537252010-02-05T22:47:20.659-08:002010-02-05T22:47:20.659-08:00I wouldn't hold your breath for that retractio...I wouldn't hold your breath for that retraction, Enrique. I did say the game was fun, but it makes me angry every time I play, so I probably won't be investing a lot more time in it. And I sincerely doubt I'll be missing it if I don't play it more.Matt Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293720777403743376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-20051406720177587182010-02-05T07:40:35.349-08:002010-02-05T07:40:35.349-08:00I agree with Pete and ninth, this game rocks.

But overall, it is a great game made even better with the expansion.<br /><br />I smell a "Nexus Opian" retraction someday.Enriquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013606211851487172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-17780612923279047342010-02-05T07:40:05.045-08:002010-02-05T07:40:05.045-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Enriquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013606211851487172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-315133571809166052010-02-05T07:39:29.847-08:002010-02-05T07:39:29.847-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Enriquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013606211851487172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-87403657458514113732010-02-04T20:07:02.706-08:002010-02-04T20:07:02.706-08:00I loved to hate this game when I first played it. ...I loved to hate this game when I first played it. I loved that it was like the old TSR Dungeon, but on MethRoids. I hated that it seemed to get the better of me every time. I'd walk away angry.<br /><br />After 6-10 plays, I started cluing in that when a card gave you an option to off one of your party or beat the trap, that dude suddenly wore a red shirt on the wrong fricking day.<br /><br />I love this game. I really think you need to play it more, a lot more. I'd be happy to school you. :Pninthdochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00195339126659964746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-90768395227141632822010-02-04T12:37:27.560-08:002010-02-04T12:37:27.560-08:00I love Tomb for all those reasons.

I was playing with a certain Denton cop, Phoenix Programmer, and Garland Project Manager once, and watching the cop gut the Project Manager with one of the few items that allows killing another's party member...that was EPIC.<br /><br />I agree on the dice, though, apparently the French have a keen sense of sight and color differentiation...especially at night. We keep all 3 colors in different cups for this very reason. I'm actually considering painting the pips a different color like yellow or something so you can tell the difference between green and blue.<br /><br />As usual, Matt, an entertaining and enlightening review.Petenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-61464500113542452132010-02-04T11:12:23.105-08:002010-02-04T11:12:23.105-08:00I didn't like the game much myself, especially...I didn't like the game much myself, especially with those dice that even a non-colorblind person has difficulty telling apart, and I'm the colorblind one.Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-19651612440633791972010-02-03T23:11:45.735-08:002010-02-03T23:11:45.735-08:00I laughed nicely at this review - excellent stuff,...I laughed nicely at this review - excellent stuff, and that's even with me really liking the game.<br /><br />I think that might be because I usually don't focus on the monsters and instead enjoy just messing with my competition.<br /><br />I apologize for being a groin shot specialist, but don't plan on stopping when it comes to this game. :-)Wind Lanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-85533016324909427102010-02-03T19:49:07.324-08:002010-02-03T19:49:07.324-08:00I have a friend who loves the theme, was excited t...I have a friend who loves the theme, was excited to get this game, but hated it for all the reasons you stated.
