(More customer reviews)My friends and I play a good deal of german style and specialty board games, and this one is the cream of the crop. The game is not quite as easy to learn as Dominion, but in my opinion, it is a lot more fun, and the art is way better. The game is very easy to set up and break down, and there is a minimal amount of sorting to do. Unlike Dominion, there is a balance or specialization to consider when drafting your deck. There are monsters to fight, and items and heros to aquire, so one may chose to specialize in battleing or aquiring, or take a chance on the not-quite-best of both worlds.
There are a few flaws in the game but very little of it has to do with the mechanics or play of the game. The card quality is a weird choice, they are plastic coated paper, which is a measure of quality and resilience in some way, but they could easily get sticky. This also makes the cards a little hard to shuffle. The plastic coating may protect the cards, but when damage is done to them, the cards become very clearly marked. One suggestion, is to sleeve the deck in standard magic the gathering card sleeves. Fortunately, the box seems to be designed to accommodate the game's deck in or out of sleeves easily.
Another is the board. A lot of space on the board is dedicated to the basic rules legend of the game, which is really only useful for the first 2 or 3 times playing the game. It could have been better used to put some cool artwork on, or freeing up some play space.
There is one point that is up for contention, the artwork. It is all done by a single artist, and though i think that the artwork on almost every single card is amazing, not everyone agrees with this point of view.
These are small faults to a game that I consider totally amazing. The quality, fun, and very reasonable price make it a great value.
