I did some practice today with the dragon expansion how it feels to draw dragon tokens and the replacement of the crown. (including discarding tokens and put one on the board)
And my reaction and feelings are not good
I was very upset how long this process is, and this is only a practice handling.
My first impression was as negative as yours. In the second game, things went smoother and faster, because the mechanic (draw scale, place token and check Dragon King) was well known. We also decided to draw the token before the active player finishes his turn; when it's your turn, you've already made all the evaluations and this saves a lot of time. However, Talisman with scales mechanic tends to stretch 15 extra minutes per player.
I am glad i am not the only one who has a bad feeling about it...
I still want to give it a chance, and i want also show my opponent how the token management works.
I saw already reactions on BGG that fans did dislike the token mechanic. Now i understand what is all about.
I thought that you rather wanted to play with the dragon domain ending right?
I think that everything will get smoother with that ending..
PS: And with Dragon Domain ending, you can collect dragon scales in the tower, which is not possible with the normal dragon scale rule..
