One of those movies where the ostensible leads are the least well-known people in it - everyone else has a great time overacting: the gold medal goes to Brian Blessed, who steals the entire movie as Vultan, Prince of the Hawk People. Visually lavish, with a strong script, lots of well-staged action for younger viewers, and tongue-in-cheek jokes aplenty for older people who ought to know better. Point knocked off for some inappropriately nasty violence; put straight back on again for Queen's soundtrack.

Jul 10, 2018
I have only played this game with 6 people and hear it plays best with these. We typically ban playing with the Jolnar and the Sol because they are SO much better than the other races. Depending on your selection method, you may also want to ban the Sardak (because they're so much worse than the other races).
If people haven't played before, it will probably take you a good hour to explain the rules to them. Either way, it will probably take you about 8 hours to play with 6 people, so plan to be playing the whole day!
