Hi everyone,
I'm more or less new to board games, although I used to play d&d and stuff. I was looking for something to play with my fellow casual gamers, so to speak, something easy and fun, you know, such as carcassone or catan.
While looking at just every box on the shelves of the small but crowded shop, the huge Descent box caught my eye. The box is so heavy it must be filled with good stuff - I thought. It looks good, too.
So I read a million reviews and considered a million other games and at last I made up my mind and I went back to the shop, picked it up and paid, a little nervous, I sure hope we enjoy this cause it's no cheap game...
So this is my first game of this kind, part rpg, part miniature game, part board game... I can't wait to play it!
meanwhile I read the rulebook and the pdf faq on the site, and already I have a very basic question:
About the READY action.
it says in the rulebook that a hero that readies can either move or attack, AND can also place a hero order token. Then on the hero orders section it says that the ready order allows an hero to place an order and either move or make an attack. Doesnt this mean, if I place an aimed attack token, that I'd be attacking
twice
?
I ready my hero and decide to attack, then place an aimed attack token and -as per the rules saying I can place an aimed attack and attack in the same turn- execute the aimed attack too...
it would seem so, as the actions allowed are two (move or attack, place token to be used 'later in the round') but two attacks in one round doesnt feel right....
thanks for your time and help!
S.
