I picked this game up not to long ago and I gotta say it is a ton of fun. Like an RPG in card game form. I've yet to get a big game going, but I've messed around with it with two or so of my other friends and they liked it as well. There are a few ruling questions that came up, but I'm sure those can be hammered out later. So far though I'm loving it so Kudos to FFG for picking this game up!
Anybody Play This Epic Game?
Yeah I introduced it to my friend group not long ago and it was an instant hit. The FLGS around here has an extremely worn out demo box as well, and I know they sell the boxes shortly after getting them in. I'm looking forward to the expansion.
I have the card game, and though I havent had much chance to play it due to work and uni eating time, I love it. A self-contained card game built ready for multiple players!
What does everyone else prefer:
Rp
Cards
Minis?
The card game is indeed great, a fun way to kill some time. It plays best with about 4 players I think since then you can be pretty cutthroat with each other and it moves at a good pace.
I think I prefer the RPG then the mini game then that card game but thats more of a function of my groups priorities over all
doesn't the 4 player game drag out a bit?
I wouldn't worry about the 4 player dragging out, we made a 3 player go for over 3 hours, so its just that sorta game where you have to bunker down for the long haul and enjoy the ride
I bought it yesterday, and it looks lovely! Right now I'm about to read evertyhing on the cards, so I get a grip of it. I can't wait to try it out. Gonna force my rpg-playing dudes to try it!
The art looks great. I will pick it up soon. though, im a battle game fan, im willing to expand, this looks really interesting.
It really is a great game, if you wnat something that will create a thousand in-jokes with your mates for a long time to come. Whenever I talk to my mate we can't help but talk about it, and drop jokes from when we last played. It really is taht sort fo game.

Personally, this is a game I really want to love, but it just sort of falls flat for me. It can be very tough for someone that's behind to catch up (you can get in a cycle of not being powerful enough to get better stuff, so therefore you can't be powerful enough to get better stuff). And if you're that person... you're sitting through a pretty long game without a chance.
I recently picked it up and I've been quite impressed. The art is great and the game is pretty easy to pick up. The first few turns were a bit slow as we figured out the rules but things played pretty smoothly after that. IMHO the game really needs a few expansions to mix things up a bit. More locations would be nice but what the game could really do with is more encounters and events. Other than that I'm pretty happy with the game.

Personally, I like the game very much, though some of people I played with complained that it is a bit slow moving, though I think it was due the fact that they were learning as we go. I'm hoping that expansion will come out soon.
