He's been doing the component drop in his videos for years. I never did get the previous three games in this board game series and I won't be getting this one. I always wanted a more meatier board game influenced by the dice system in D&D 4e, this one is just too light for me.
You guys should find his review of D&D Dice Masters... it shows off a lot of the cards in the game and does a through job of explaining how that game plays.
While I hear you on wanting a meatier game, I think doing that would make it take too long. Take descent; I like it but it takes so long to play I think most would prefer to just play an RPG. I like that I can play these games in about an hour. I think there intent was to use some of the mechanics and atmosphere of d&d buy keeping gameplay time under 2 hours.
