The 4 of us tried it out this past Friday and loved the gameplay. The only issue we had was that we ran out of gold rather quickly. There simply was not enough gold representative pieces to go around.
A flaw we noticed with the game
I don't have the new version but I only have the Beowulf version. I've never encountered this problem because there are different types of coins representing different values.
There are different denomination of the coins in the new version also but that didn't help with the shortage.
