Coinvolgente, veloce da imparare ( a meno di qualche "regoluccia" da testare in partita, prima di essere assimilata), io ho anche dipinto le miniature, in ogni caso l'ambientazione è superba. Da giocare assolutamente in modalità campagna, dove il gioco dà il massimo. Non mi esprimo ancora sulla longevità (sono ancora a metà della campagna), però non credo che esaurite le avventure sia indispensabile l'espansione, anche perchè alcuni scenari ho già voglia di riprovarli! Abbastanza impegnativa la parte del Signore Supremo, sei i dadi lo penalizzano, la vittoria per gli eroi è decisamente più semplice da raggiungere. In sintesi per gli amanti del dungeon crawling: bello,bello, bello!
Game description from the publisher:
Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) is a board game in which one player takes on the role of the treacherous overlord, and up to four other players take on the roles of courageous heroes. During each game, the heroes embark on quests and venture into dangerous caves, ancient ruins, dark dungeons, and cursed forests to battle monsters, earn riches, and attempt to stop the overlord from carrying out his vile plot.
With danger lurking in every shadow, combat is a necessity. For such times, Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) uses a unique dice-based system. Players build their dice pools according to their character's abilities and weapons, and each die in the pool contributes to an attack in different ways. Surges, special symbols that appear on most dice, also let you trigger special effects to make the most of your attacks. And with the horrors awaiting you beneath the surface, you'll need every advantage you can take...
Featuring double-sided modular board pieces, countless hero and skill combinations, and an immersive story-driven campaign, Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) transports heroes to a vibrant fantasy realm where they must stand together against an ancient evil.
Compared to the first edition of Descent: Journeys in the Dark, this game features:
Simpler rules for determining line of sight
Faster setup of each encounter
Defense dice to mitigate the tendency to "math out" attacks
Shorter quests with plenty of natural stopping points
Cards that list necessary statistics, conditions, and effects
A new mechanism for controlling the overlord powers
Enhanced hero selection and creation process
Experience system to allow for hero growth and development
Out-of-the-box campaign system
