The game was missing the score pad. I realize this was a slightly used game. However, no where in the description did it say it was minus the score pad. Another issue was part of the box front looks as if it was torn off. It was papered over. Don’t know if it was done by boardgamesweekly.com or the seller. The price point, $5 below boardgamesweekly.com’s price, was too high because of these problems. I would not have purchased this. The boardgamesweekly.com price for this game is much better than the MSRP.
Great strategy game worth the price. Challenging and interesting mechanics. All players may control each nation which creates a tug of war scenario.
Mucho más de lo que me esperaba, las miniaturas llegaron bastante protegidas en su caja y en el lugar que deberían ir (es decir, no sé soltaron y se golpearon con el viaje) la calidad de la pintura es excelente, lo único es que no me esperaba que el Orco tuviera un tamaño de soporte tan grande (debido a que lo iba a usar para partidas de D&D, de ahí para allá, la calidad de cada una de las miniaturas es espectacularmente cuidada.
At first I was pretty excited. The included trays are great, and keep all the tokens in order. But then after getting things together the game no longer fits in the box. They give you this elastic band to hopefully keep it closed but the lid basically floats on top of the box. The elastic is a pain to get on and off too. If you could get a new box with deeper walls that would be much better solution.
The book is coming apart from the Spine
The first time I played Dragon Castle I did not like it. I played with 4 people and tried to use the cards with extra scoring abilities during and after the game. It was too much and I did not know what I was doing. I really did not like this game. However, after watching a Watch it Played and then playing with 2 players and not using the cards at first, this game has morphed into my current favorite game and it has constantly hit the table. The pieces of Mah Jong pieces but the game is not really Mah Jong and maybe is slightly related to solo app Mah Jong, but not really. The pieces are high quality and the art is beautiful. The different combination of tiles, and set ups, and the power cards allow this game infinite replayability. It is just as much fun with 2 as it is 4. But again, I highly recommend watching a video first and playing without the power cards first. This game is challenging, relaxing, and frustrating all at the same time. High quality components, easy to follow instructions...what a game.
This game just like original with minor changes, love it all the same never can win against my son so this game gets played a lot until I can win so far 0 wins my son 4 wins. The comparison to the original has determined they are both the same material wise the cards feel as flimsy as the originals the tokens however they feel heavier in the marvel, the cardboard extra points feel the same as well. Price is steep but sometimes I see this game go on for sale as little as $15 bucks (unfortunately I didn’t pay that price) I think it’s worth the cost for the look of the game.
Wow, this is a beautiful edition of this classic game. Although the paintings used in this edition ( Manet, Cezanne, Van Gogh, Munch & Klimt ) are mostly Impressionist and not Modern like the other editions, I personally much prefer looking at these paintings. The second set of Korean works of art is a pleasant added bonus as it makes you appreciate paintings that are less often seen here in the west. I was expecting a Korean only edition but I was pleasantly surprised to find an English Rulebook and a deck of language cards for each players. The language cards are double-sided, offering 8 different languages and 5 cards of each language, enough for a five players game. (Pictures Attached) The Metal coins set is amazing and the wood gavel is large and solid. My only constructive criticism would be to make the vacuformed insert slightly larger to accommodate sleeved cards. A jewel of my collection. Thank you DiceTree Games!
Todo perfecto
This game is a lot of fun and moves quickly! The rules are simple and easy to follow. It's fun to play in teams. Great purchase! I would definitely spend the extra money and get the jumbo size map however.
Bought this expecting it to be NEW. Received an unsealed and opened box. Inside the pieces were already punched out and put in baggies. Clearly, it's a used version.
We (mom, dad, 6 & 9 YO kids) played our first game with UK board and we really enjoyed it. The new technology mechanics of UK map makes building longer routes much much more difficult, so the overpowered US map strategy of just going for long routes is made difficult. This leads to more balanced game. The new rule were easy to pick up for 6 year old, and we will not need to revisit new rules in next play through.
They come in a small box and must be assembled with superglue which may be difficult for some people, they also are a little expensive for my liking but are very nicely detailed and sized the same as most DnD miniatures.
A very engaging experience. Lots of tough decisions but not difficult to play. The board is beautiful and organic. Worker locations don't look forced and match the style of art. Components are all good quality.
I bought this game for my 4yo who loves addition but I’m really disappointed. The numbers often display backwards or don’t display at all. He’s now frustrated and feels like he can’t add. Back it goes.
