I had the 2nd edition many years age.
Now I have the Iron Mountain 4th, the Fantasy Flight update kit, and the Frostmarch Expansion for it.
It's a great game, but it has 2 major flaws:
1. It takes too long. My gaming group discovered that the avverage play time is 1 hour for each person playing. So in my group of 4 people = 4 hours to play.
2. It's way to random. Almost every aspect of the game is based on chance. There really isn't a whole lot of strategy or skill involved. The game is basically: Draw a random card and roll the dice.
I love the setting and artwork though.
You want a great game to play with a group that's easy to learn, quick to play, requires strategy, and is funny as hell? Get "Munchkin" from Steve Jackson Games.
