Whether you want to kill a few hours or just spend a little time gathered around with your friends this game will do the trick. The miniatures that come with the game are all color coded and represent the characters that they are sculpted after very well, both enemies and heroes alike. Mechanics in this game take only a little bit of reading and set up for a game is about five minutes. When I first played with four other friends I read up on the rules and then walked them through their first turn. After getting comfortable with things the game took off and it was very laid back, team oriented and provided us a great way to spend an evening. I would say this is a great buy for anyone that likes board games, regardless of if they are interested in other Wizards of the Coast products.Was this review helpful?Yes (3)No (0)ReportWalmart slays competitors on Castle Ravenloft5/28/2012Average rating:4out of5stars, based onreviews5/28/2012by LordSsothFirst off this is a great value over most every other vendor.Walmart's price for new/sealed is equal or less than what some others sell this same game at used prices.If you are looking for complexity,this is not your game.Great for quick dungeon crawl play solo or w/ 2 to 5 friends .Serves as a good introduction to A D&D boardgames.Well made and well packaged.And promises some decent replay options.Was this review helpful?Yes (6)No (0)ReportWhat I've wanted out of D&D since I was a kid3/10/2014Average rating:5out of5stars, based onreviews3/10/2014by Hypercoyote ?Verified purchaserI remember seeing the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons advertised in comics back in the 90's and thinking how awesome it looked. When I actually got the opportunity to play the game, I was a bit disappointed to find out that most of the game was pencil and paper work. While this is great for people who had the time and imagination to come up with amazing scenarios, I wanted something a lot more visual and interactive. Enter the D&D Board Game series. These sets (including this one) take parts of the D&D world and put a board-game twist on them. The game is a co-op game where it's the players versus the game itself (so no more need for one player to always act as a DM). The game never plays the same way! There are several scenarios (and some new ones available online) that give you a different objective each time you play. In addition, as you play the game, you place random dungeon tiles in the way you choose to customize your dungeon layout. Monster spawns are also random (though some are specified in the game for scenario objectives). The game is not a pushover either, as it is very easy to have your team wiped out and fail the objective. Overall, it's a great game that can be played solo, but is best played with a group of friends (gameplay usually lasts 1-2 hours) that will not get old anytime soon. If you're looking to capture that D&D fun without writing campaigns, designing dungeons, and coming up with the back-stories, then this game is for you.Was this review helpful?Yes (5)No (0)ReportMarvelous components - 1st rate quality11/11/2014Average rating:5out of5stars, based onreviews11/11/2014by DeathLee91030This cooperative D&D game is highly playable.
