Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
This game honestly feels like Matt Newman and Nate French went out for a cup of coffee and Matt said to Nate
"Hey you know that Bleuchz guy? The one who likes Eldritch Horror but stopped buying the expansions for it to be more fiscally responsible?"
"Yeah what about him?"
"How can we make him spend more money on useless cardboard again?"
"I know. We'll just put everything he likes in a game and drip feed it to him every month for 20 bucks a pack"
"Brilliant"
FFG likely had not expected this to be the hit it's become. Totally understand that it's exceedingly difficult to get the production-distribution chain going, but man the lack of availability is killing this game.
You can't really just pick up any old expansion and play it. Yes, it can be done, but the current packs are meant to be played as an overall campaign and in order. So you can't guarantee getting expansions and the demand is so high compared to the supply, you are getting some high pricetags (I'm seeing x2 MSRP). Sketchy availability + expansions needing to be a complete set + high prices over MSRP = folks giving this game a pass.
I really think folks will be getting frustrated in the next few months if stock isn't upped a fair clip. So much so that people will dump the game and move onto something else.
Brilliant game. Don't get sucked into the trap.
If it wasn't for L5R coming to eat my wallet this summer I'd be pretty tempted to dip into this a bit. We still play Netrunner and LotR, so there's only so many LCG's I can dabble in simultaneously. Hopefully I'll run into it at the local cafe or store and can at least try it at some point.
This game is rapidly shooting up my list of favourite games. I just got into it and the LOTR LCG at pretty much the same time and man, they are both so good.
I don't know, maybe it was just me, but I found this game a little too complicated the first time we played. However I only had a short time to read the rules and tried to teach it on the fly, that might have been a mistake.
This has pretty quickly become my favorite game (edging out Pandemic). I absolutely love the design, character classes and deck building. I'm happy to see Rahdo enjoyed it, even if he does not plan on keeping the game.
The custom scenario he was playing looks interesting to me, I will have to check it out.
Still have to play this and Rahdo definitely makes it more tempting. Hopefully this weekend we can pull it out.
I hate the chaos bag!
