One of my favorite board games!

  • The game is never-ending (if you so choose). The cards are reshuffled and taken back in the game once they have been used
  • You can become all-mighty if you want to
  • Can have many different endings (options are up to the players)
  • Has lots of addons, giving new areas, cards, player characters, functions and endings
  • Has a rather cheap (base) game in Steam as well
  • Lots of stuff to remember what you can do, once you have spells and items and followers

Judging by the comments in this thread its seems to be pretty polarizing. That fits pretty well with how my friend loved it when we played it. But I think he played the physical copy before, so maybe he had good memories of playing it.

What do you like about it? I liked the concept when my friend told me about it, otherwise I would not have tried it, but the reality of it was just me randomly dying and having to restart while my friend got insanely powerful.

Wouldn't have tried the game all by myself at least! Friends introduced it and it was cool that way.

I don't think I mind dying in the game but it can become a problem if someone takes your items from where you died while you roll for a new character...your chances become much smaller to go back fast to the end-game.
