Inexperienced players may have other players tell them what to do. They are more of a body than a player. (0 more)
I had fun playing with friends who never played before. When introducing the game to new players the group told new players how to play their characters over letting making their own decision. Less charismatic players tend to sit on backburner.

The xost of weapons that really have no special upgrade values.
Could be better.
I was very excited to play this game at furst and to be honest the single.player game mode is great. Where the game truly falls short is in the multiplay mode. Not enough to do and gets boring very quickly

This game has an incredibly large roster which is surprisingly balanced. The game is incredibly easy to pick up and learn with a huge complexity for those who want to delve deeper. (1 more)
The single player content is incredibly and lovingly made. A joy to complete and enjoyable all the way through
At a higher levels of gameplay some inconsistencies occur. Other than this there is not much that can be faulted. (0 more)

Angry family.
Don't get me wrong this is a good game.... While it can be fun often ruined by a competitive player getting angry and 86ing the game entirely by throwing the board. Over 75% of the time I have played this game it has never been finished... Usually due to an angry family member flipping the board (Not me just clarifying).

A solid second novel
While not the pop culture thrill ride that was Ready Player One, this book still held my interest. It will appeal to gamers and Sci-Fi fans with its premise of a video game being used to train the general populace as soldiers. You need to be able to speak fluent “geek” (Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, etc.) to catch all the references.

Combos
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.

Good beginning deck builder
This is a good game, but not a great one... it's ok / meh 2 player, but shines with 4, The parts and pieces are ok, we got the deluxe version from KS and it's well made, but I'm glad to have the upgrade.
