One of my go to board games
This game is one of my number one board games. It has such variety, in that it has many different scenarios that can trigger in one game. It is so entertaining exploring the house, despite it sometimes not fitting on the table. Waiting to find out who is going to end up as the traitor makes for some hilarious conversations during play.
It varies on how long it takes to play, but in general it doesn't drag on too long.
I do have a problem where, probably due to luck, the haunt is easy to complete and ends the game brusquely. Or it ends up the other way where it seems to take a really long time to complete anything and win.
But overall, great game, very fun and easy to play and can't wait for another game night.

The minis are outstandingly cute (0 more)
mechanics are clunky and slow (0 more)
Super Dungeon Explore: Forgotten King is the follow up to the hugely successful Super Dungeon Explore (spoiler alert; I wasnt the base games biggest fan). Forgotten Kings has slipped a little more under the radar, possibly due to the hugely controversial kickstarter for the base game, and Soda Pops split from the publisher who helped launch their (and a number of successful KS campaigns), but also likely due to the fact that since the base set came out miniature based board games have gone from being a rarity, to a more mainstream product.

Its here that Forgotten Kings falls to pieces. When SDE launched it was a top end board game, and was excitingly innovative, playing like a fusion of Warhammer-a-likes, Euro board games, and an rpg. With no direct comparison it shone out as something special, but Forgotten Kings has launched into a market surrounded by superior games more tailored to specific gamers.

Want a quick fun mini based game; here's Zombicide, want a complex deep and strategic mini based board game; here's Dark Souls.

And therein lies the issue, Gorgotten King is a mesh of simple things and randomness, and a level of complexity in set up phases that makes you read the rules three times.

The one thing Forgotten Kongs nails perfectly is the miniatures. The models are detailed, cute and fun to paint. If you can pick up a decently priced copy and have a use for then it is almost worth picking up a copy just for them.

Forgotten Kings also has one feature to lift it above the original version; the introduction of Arcade mode. Whilst the normal rules requires one player to sit in a dungeon master style role in Arcade Mode an AI system has been introduced to allow you to solo play, or all play on the same side.

Like the original Forgotten Kings still feels very much like an 8-bit experience on a board, but, like its video game counterparts, the competition has moved on to better things.

'I must confess I do prefer it to most other forms of Monopoly that are neglected in my cupboard gathering dust. For me, its best feature is that it isn’t actually just another version of Monopoly, although you will recognise the layout of the board, that is where comparisons stop, and this is a game in its own right.'

'Auztralia is easily one of the best gaming experiences I've had this year, which is high praise since I don't normally care for co-ops. I look forward to repeatedly returning to the down under, where “that is not dead can enteral lie” unless us pesky humans poke it with a sharp stick.'

Great Combo-Building Game
Surbubia is one of the best city building games around. It doesn't quite scratch my itch for a Sim City board game, but it does a great job with the theme.

The entire game revolves around placing buildings next to each other to built combos and a more effective city. Gameplay goes quickly, and has just enough player interaction to be fun.
