I have seen this game advertised for a while now, and wondered what the nuts and bolts were, so thanks for that. Tell me (if you don't mind!), how old is your son? I have been thinking about getting this, but my kids are in their early teens now, and I wonder if this game might get old quickly.
When you're paying $20 for basically a pack of cards, you need to be sure it's a very entertaining pack of cards!
We bought Pandemic last year. Costs a bit more, but that's a proper game...
He's 10, but we play a ton of stuff together (computer and board games). I've been wanting to try Pandemic.
It's terrific. A little difficult to get the hang of, and at ten, your son might find it a little drawn out. It took a while with mine, and my daughter still isn't very keen. Everything is so immediate these days.
We play games like X-Wing Miniatures, Mice & Mystics, and Imperial Assault, we have done drawn out many times.
Really want to get this:
Wish I did the Kickstarter, I dragged my feet as I don't like ordering something with the chance of it maybe coming out.
Wow. You'll be fine then.
I can't give the impression that I am huge gamer, but I actually played Dark Souls at Christmas! I went to see a friend for a boozy get together, and his son had got this as his main gift, so we indulged him and played it. I am mildly ashamed to say I fell asleep!
In my defence, the wine had been flowing, and the game was somewhat involved. And long. I threw the dice when I was told to, but that was about it as far as my contribution went. Everyone else seemed to enjoy it though!
I picked this up myself for Christmas but haven't had a chance to play yet.
Bloodborne reviews say it lacks replayability - as you will get stuck with a limited amount of cards.
A new expansion just came out that adds a lot more cards for variability. When you try it, let us know your thoughts!
I'm a huge Soulsborne fan (Dark Souls, Demon Souls, Bloodborne) so for me I had to have it.
