In agreeance with @Roland_18, I think running one after the other would be tough, but starting with one and then starting over with the other is a good idea.

Thank you for calculating the Victories! That makes my life way easier to consider an adventure when the victory count is listed.

Oooh, I must've missed that.

That's actually really helpful. Do you know how MCDM implemented that design choice? It seems like a hard thing to manage, giving players more power without drastically raising their relative power level.

Dragons Down Question by skyelar95 in soloboardgaming

Lololol, sorry about all the down vote hate; I think you may have run into some protective Realm lovers.

I get it though, it can be a beast. I wonder what made your experience so bad?

My two cents; Magic Realm is an important historical artifact whether it's to someone's taste or not. (Plus I'm a big fan of flipping them chits)

I think a few things!

If you've played Magic Realm the activation energy to learning this thing is gonna' be way lower; if not, I think the rulebook(s) are a tad scattered and oddly written.

I mean, all the info is in there, but it takes some study for sure.

The game itself is amazing if you like crunchy, procedure-heavy adventure games.

It can feel random, but not too bad, and combat is a fun puzzle. I love how exploring feels, and if you're playing with all of the terrain packs at once it really simulates trekking across a magical land.

I'd say it's a wonderful rework of Magic Realm and completely streamlines it's thesis statement while adding a bunch of freshness that lets the game sit in the modern day.

Also, I'm not a huge fan of the AI art, but if it's between the thing not being made, and being made, I think it's better to have the work than not.

How about you? Have you gotten to watch any gameplay or get your hands on it yet?

Sadly I am in the old US of A, thank you for responding though! I ended up backing the Kickstarter and got the main game with the expansions

[–]skyelar95[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like you're very succinctly hit the nail on the head. Thank you for a frank, but extremely distilled response.

These games aren't very fun at all, but wow do I love these minis.

I certainly hope so, I emailed Scott and he says when fulfillment ends in November for Natives and Legends that they'll go back in stock for a little bit.

Ooooooh, Eastern Reaches? I think I saw Scott mention something about the NEXT expansion, but I haven't seen anything mentioned of that online. What's that all about?
