[QUOTE="ken-ichi, post: 3314686, member: 20061"] I have Descent and agree that it often takes about 1 hour too long to finish. We have played about 8-9 games and the OL has won 2-3 of them. I have gotten the expansion, but have only used it in conjunction with the last two missions of the original game. I enjoy it but it would be better if just a bit faster. I also have Runebound. We played it last Sunday with the Midnight expansion set. I think our games drag on a bit too long because we dislike the risk of loosing the battle so we spend too much time going through the lower level encounter raking in enough levels to easily take on the tougher ones. The Midnight set drastically changes the game. It becomes a player vs. OL type of game where the good guys need to team up to take out the bad guy before he wins. Being our first game we made some mistakes and the good guys didn't press forward enough and ran out of time. I also picked up BattleLore. I have played about 4 games of it and like it alot. This is one that I can play with my younger sister who is not so strategically inclined and just have a good time. It plays fast, has clear simple rules (on cards for easy reference) and is good fun. I am really looking forward to many expansions of this game. I have WHQ and HeroQuest (MB version) as well and really played them alot and enjoyed them. However I wanted more choice and options than HQ offered and found WHQ to be a bit slow (my brother is forbidden from ever playing a wizard ever again) and kinda clunky at times for us. Some people just can't get the charts and it takes them forever to find the to hit and to wound numbers. It gets kinda old to have to tell them for every roll they make. [/QUOTE]
