This is likely one of if not the best co-op board games in existance, and that is not hyperbole. I have had friends who love co-op doing most anything to get in a game and even people who normally dis-like co-op say they really like it. The lowest response I have obtained after playing a game with people was they "liked it a lot."This will appeal to co-op people(if you liked pandemic, you'll love this), people who like fantasy gaming and those who crave a challenge. Even veteran gamers generally are winning this thing not much more than 50% of the time and more casual people are hitting about 10-20% and there are ways to make the game harder as part of even the basic set. Because the game is so much about YOUR actions and heroic activities, losing is not a downer, most people want to play again. LOL the first time we won everyone went out to get drinks and desert because it was so exciting.The variety of characters you can play and how insanely different they each feel coupled with the random nature of the "bad guys" and the expansion adding more (even on-line free content) that the gamee does not get old. I've had 30+ plays and still love it.Highly suggest picking it up.
