Well, we finally got to play our first game yesterday and it was great! My oldest son (age 14) plays WoW online with me on the weekends, so he was really interested in the mini game, as was I from my years of playing other mini games and also knowing the WoW world from online play, so both of us had great interest and are glad the game went smoothly!
Despite having purchases several boosters, we stuck with only using the starter characters for the first couple of games, just to make sure we got the rules down. I love the 'tic' mechanic of the counter and how different actions you take cause you to have to wait longer, it works out well.
My son won the first game because Gorebelly had that Taunt ability that messed me up, but the second game went better for me, as I knew of the ability going into it, and kept one of my characters positioned so it wouldn't force him to attack Gorebelly and instead I was able to open up on the Paladin.
I think this game is going to have a lot of possibilities and a lot of strategy, so hopefully it will be around for a long time to come. I am not a huge fan of collectible games, but I think on this game I'll take a break from my normal ranting and raving and go with it.
I will probably write a few review, or at least some more detailed thoughts at some point in the future, but for now this short session report to say how much I enjoyed the game is good enough.
