*Miniature Review Beautiful designs and durable but easy to clean up the plastic material used. This though is the only reason I could not give a 5-star rating. One minature was headless but the head was located in the lower part of the packaging. I started out in Warhammer so a easy fix when I get to it. There are gaps of varying size in head/neck meeting point in several infantry models another small fix. *The Game I can see the 8th Edition WH Fantasy inspiration and I like it. This set comes with high quality essentials for setting up a board or just a mat for play in minutes. The cards can make it a little clutter especially since play is a constant back and forth with intrigue play buffs. Almost like playing two games at once. The 5 game choices I think are a good start, but I do hope future expansions offer new game styles. Certainly if units from Essos ( Unsullied!), Roberts Rebellion ( Prince Rhaegar/ Young Lord Robert), and or The Others are introduced in the future.
Bought a New one,.. GOT a new one,.. unopened.. with shrinkwrap and all. No false advertising.
This is pretty straight forward. It's the new version of Clue (meaning it has the Intrigue cards, and 9 weapons instead of the traditional 6.) The only difference is it's all about "The Office!" You play as either Jim (Green), Pam (Scarlet), Andy (White), Dwight (Mustard), Angela (Peacock), or Stanley (Plum). The board features rooms from the show and are pretty dead on as far as details inside the rooms and even the layout of the board itself. I love how in Accounting it has Angela's creepy babies playing the saxophone poster! If you love Clue and love "The Office" then this is definitely worth the money! we've had it for about a week and have played it over 5 times already! A+ Recommend!
Fun way to have quick d&d sessions with my pals with randomized encounters and such. The figurines are labeled and there's one for every creature you encounter. Rules and gameplay are simple enough I guess, lol. Overall we really enjoyed our first session with this game.
This is extremely well made. Solid piece of Oak. Our Amish friends will enjoy playing the game when they visit us :)
X-wing ships are not cheap. Unless you can find them on clearance, you're going to be paying around $20 for the small ships and $40-$60 for ones the size of the Ghost. Whether you play the minis game or not, this tiny representation of the ship in Rebels is really nicely done. The Phantom II attaches sturdily and comes off with only minor resistance. The Ghost's stand offer support for the wide, Crunchwrap Supreme-shaped hull and the thing looks really nice sitting on a shelf. I'd been hesitant to get this one for a while but I'm glad I did.
A packing error damaged 2 of my Shai Hulud cards. Some of the cards make no sense in context of the lore. You can tell the people designing it never read the books but I digress... it's nitpicky that Soo-Soo-Sook! is a cry of an Arrakeen Water Seller and not the actual name of a person that warrants a Leader Token (the character with the nickname was never named in the book as such and only appeared in the CCG as Nejhre and was actually a Harkonnen agent.) and there war for more important Spacing Guild Leaders that could have served the role. In fact, none of the Spacing guild characters except the Guild Rep. are actually guild characters. The Tueks are smugglers and Master Bewt is yet another water seller based in the polar regions. I can forgive all that as it's just a board game. Many characters are ill-placed or not relevant to the factions they are in. the game itself is solid. The only reason why it got 4 stars were the mangled worm cards. In all honesty you could 1:1 this game with almost any IP with few adjustments and come out with a winner. If you've been faithful to the source material... just let it slide. It's fun. It just disappoints with the lack of reverence for the source material. I had to look up some of the characters to check who they were and they were wrong. That means GF9 can't even do a proper Wiki search.
This is such a fun toy for my 12 month old, but I only let her play with it under close supervision. We noticed that the google eye fell off which is a chocking hazard. And the star keychain popped off when she pulled on it. It’s definitely keeping her engaged so as long as I sit with her, it’s great.
Not only is this classic game one of my favorite deck builders (or just favorite games) of all time, but the Intrigue expansion has been my preferred expansion simply for the fact that it's a simple first-timer friendly addition of new cards that requires none of the extra bells and whistles of later expansions. Simply put, that makes this my favorite combination of game and game expansions to carry around from group of friends to group of friends. But speaking of carrying it around: it's just as big as the title implies. If you ever wanted to bring a smaller version of this game to a party, well too bad. You'll have to lug around and scare new players away with this imposing box (see photo to compare the Big Box to the original game). That being said, for 50 dollars??? That's basically only 10 dollars more than the base game. And to address others reviews that complain about the fact that the cards are stored vertically instead of horizontally: I don't think this is a nuisance at all - in fact - I think it's better that way. For one thing, it lets you see the card titles more clearly.
The box is broken.
This was not easy to put together and I was disappointed to find there was a misprint on the dice tower. One of the biggest reasons I purchased this set is for the artwork on the dicetowet. Unfortunately I waited too long to put it together and discovered it after the return window to get a replacement. You also need your own tools and glue to build this and the instructions could be a but more descriptive. Not the worst instructions I have used but not th best. It shouldn't affect the functionality of it and I still look forward to playing with it.
Received the game but all they did was slap a sticker on it. It came with no box to hide it. Beware before you buy. Everyone will know what you bought. If buying for your kid. Make sure you get it before they do.
The product itself is great BUT it arrived pretty beat up. If it's just the box that's not a huge deal but some of the model pieces were busted off of the sprues and the inside poster was trashed. It's all still usable and salvageable but I feel if I'm paying 90+ dollars for product I want it to arrive in decent shape.
I am a big monopoly fan (I have about 20 versions) as well as a big fan of the show so of course I had to get this game! Pros: Any fan of the show will love the little details such as the money and cards having trivia or tidbits on them that relate to the show. Also the tokens are adorable and the board itself is really cute. Cons: My board actually came with two cheesecake tokens instead of Sophia‘s purse which sucks because now we can only play with five players. Also the ‘Back in St.Olaf’ and ‘Picture it Sicily’ cards look way too much alike it makes it kind of difficult to tell them apart. Also the writing on the cards and board was a bit difficult for some players to read. Overall it’s a fun game and great for a Golden Girls fan to have. It’s one of our favorite versions to play and even though it was a little pricey and I so hate that I’m missing a token it was worth the buy.
The book is the current edition, came well packaged and shipped fast. That is great. My only issue is that it is the regular version, not the collector's version that is the pictured on the product page. If they had the correct photo this would be a five star review.
