This is a game that is going to be a part of our family games for a loooooong time. I thought about getting this for almost a year. I just wasn’t sure. Reviews were that it was good, but replayability was questionable. Well..... for playing with a six year old, this game is awesome. I put this up there with Quacks of Quedlinburg, which is another current favorite we play.I’m not going to go over gameplay, but I do want to point out a couple things. First, even with the basic setup, I find this amazing. There are multiple paths to victory, which lends itself to replayability (I count at least 4 different ways to focus your efforts in the introductory setup with multiple ways to achieve them). There really are different ways to create your deck building engine. It almost seems like a simpler Space Base in that regard (another favorite of mine - it is too difficult for my six year old right now though). The added cards are great - yes, more cards is always better, but you can easily play the introductory setup a dozen times and it will/can play out differently. Secondly, almost every card is different. That is amazing too. This just adds to the replayability. Gameplay is just astounding, and the fact that you can play in 30-45 minutes and feel like you really created an engine to produce is incredible.While I think the gameplay is 5 stars plus, I am going to nitpick a few things here. First, the player board could certainly be thicker cardboard. I am worried about durability when playing with my kids. Second, a few cardboard tokens could have been wooden to help with visibility, etc. Third, the sleeve for the additional die faces has cutout parts to grab the sleeve, and they are not cut on top of one another, but offset by quite a bit which I don’t understand. Lastly, the card stock isn’t great. We sleeves a lot of games, and I didn’t think I’d sleeves these but they are pretty cheap. Now you don’t handle them much, and it doesn’t matter if they get messed up as there is no hidden information, but this surprised me.While I have some minor complaints, I think that for a production price of under 30 dollars you won’t find much better. Most issues I have just require you to be a little careful, or just aware of. This game has great visual appeal - the art on everything is amazing and really stands out. The organizer is exceptional and seems pretty sturdy. The dice seem well made (I am using a lego tool to make changing die faces easy). This is one of the best games I have gotten for our family to play as it is intuitive, language independent, and icons are pretty easy to remember. The fun factor is of the charts, the design is on point, and you won’t be disappointed.

Dice building? Yep. You roll a pair of dice and accumulate 3 currencies. One is spent to improve the dice - you actually pop the faces off and you add new ones. The other two currencies are used to buy cards that give you one time or persistent bonuses.If you remember the game Quarriors, you may have some concerns about randomness. But this is addressed with the sheer frequency of die rolls. You roll the dice on everyone's turn, accumulating resources. and spend the resources on your turn. So, no waiting for your turn and then be kicked in the face with a poor roll.Rarely is a board game cheaper than I would expect it to be. But give then quality of the components, I am surprised at the price point for this game ~ $40. The dice are solidly made and the die faces are of a hard plastic(?). I have no fear of damaging either the dice or the faces when taking them on and off. Also, you won't need to stick stickers on dice, they come ready for action.The game plays in about 45-1 hour and is a fairly easy game to teach. There is a fair bit of replay-ability to the game with 2-3 different strategies. There is a degree of variety to each game in the cards: the cheap ones are fixed, but you have a choice of 2 for the more expensive ones. But the one weakness of the game is that for 1/2 the cards these differences do not add much to the game. There could be more variety here, and definitely scope for an expansion, or perhaps make your own cards! If you like deck builders or dice rolling, this will be a good addition to your collection.

We love to play games at our house. This is a great game for family game night! It is strategy based and great for tweens +. It is easy to set up and easy to learn. The dice faces have to be removed often when you "level up" so we keep a little screwdriver in the game box.

The board game was one i played years ago and was always in the back of my head as it was the first real board game I ever played. I loved every moment of it. Finally i found it and its just how i remembered. The first time use and setup is alot and caught me off guard a little bit. but you learn it once and you can play again anytime and teach it even quicker. My favorite part about the board game is the box was designed to be a storage box for the game and everything has its slot and it just gets packed away so nicely and its very innovative and satisfying. It is fun and am going to get the expansion as soon as I can. Definitely recommend getting.

This game is simply beautiful. The insert is fantastic. The rules sheet is extremely understandable, although some reviewers here feel differently. Maybe they don't have much gaming experience. If you don't either, take a little time and study it with the game out.Since all players roll their dice on every player's turn, you always have enough resources to have a good action or two on your turn. You can purchase more die faces to help improve your roll results, or you can purchase a card and get some great special actions or more points - or both.Everyone with whom I have played this game really enjoyed it. There is great variety in the different card types. There's also a fantastic expansion to create even more variability. It is frequently suggested during my game nights. There are lots of instructional videos at boardgamegeek.com if you need help getting started. I promise you that it is well worth your time. This game rocks!

This is a fun and quality game. It takes about 45 minutes to play and is very engaging. I like the different dynamic of switching out the dice faces.
