I have bought and taken a look at the game and this is what my first thoughts are.First: The Box
Pros: Decent thickness. Artwork has that old school feeling while being fresh. It reminds me of boardgame boxes form when I was growing up. The box does what it is supposed to do for holding everything.
Cons: With current set up inside the box the expansions will not fit.
Second: The Insert
Pros: Why will most game companies ignore the major gamers and collectors about card sleeves. This company made the insert perfect for what is in the box. Other than the Big token for Alice everything has place. The cards sleeved with premium sleeves come right to the top of the wells. Even the Big token for Alice which looks like a keyhole sits above the minatures just find and doesn't slide all over the box when closed. This is a perfect insert.
Cons: The insert is perfect for what comes in this box but has no way of letting the expansions be added to the main box.
Third: The minis
Pros:I just the art work with them. The four of them are probably in mmy top ten favorite miniatures right now. Even the colored rings come off the figurs so you can paint all aspects at you whim, that is if you paint a boardgame.
Cons:I wish they were already prepainted but that isn't really an issue just me wanting more so i don't have to do it =)
Fouth: The cards
Pros. The thickness is about right and the art takes me back to my early gaming and somehow has fresh look to it. I like the fact you don't have to make a deck the decks are there already.
Cons: I have none at the moment
Fifth: The gameboard.
Pros: It is a good quality thickness and it is doublesided for more variety. Even though you are moving from circle to cirlc it still has a grid feel to it like many skirmish boardgames and minature games i have played over the years.
Cons: Like any maps there is never enough of them
The game play reminds me of Star Wars Duels but an upgraded game system with a lot more to it and not Star Wars.
I am so glad I bought this game and recommend it to anyone who likes head to head battle systems with a board and crad system unique to the character you are using.
