    • @japplek
      @japplek 3 года назад +29

      Spoiler for people who haven't read the books, but in chapter 17 the whole story pivots to be about his siblings. It makes sense if you think about it, once he's gone too far off the deep end (and you know that's where this plot line is going) it's kind of impossible to relate and the writers have just basically painted themselves into a corner. It's a change of pace but to be honest I think if you go with it and ignore the stuff about the dead dogs which does become a bit more prominent than necessary I think the family stuff with them all dealing with him is really moving. It's a bit like Kafka's Metamorphosis but with more dice and fewer giant insects. Not zero giant insects, just less than "One" (spoilers! Sorry).

    Looks like it shares some DNA with Qwarriors as well. That's a series of campaign style games where you build up a bag of dice representing warriors and spells and such. Kind of a deck-building game but with a dice pool instead of a deck.

    My thoughts are similar after a similar number of plays. Game is fun, my semi-casual group loved it but were turned off a bit by some of the more crunchy card options, preferring to stick with their favorites. They like it more than Quest for El Dorado but less than Quacks, but not by much. I also agree that the boxes are shit and I plan on replacing them with 3d printed versions as soon as one comes out that I like. Overall it's a super solid game that like it's inspiration Quarriors, will only get better as more content comes out.
