Even for me, I'm looking over the thousands of dollars of board games on my shelves, and most of the premium games get far less play than than many of the cheap ones. When buying games for younger kids to play on their own or games that I expect to mostly be played with my kids, I want something I'm not going to get too upset over if it is rough handled, get stuff spilled on it, etc. You can certainly make some beautiful kids games in the USD 20-30 range, but the more components the more difficult it is to keep the price at the sweet spot.  If the game is fun to play and if the pieces can put up with some abuse, I'll find the money well spent, even if the "sculpt" of the pieces is poor and the artwork not amazing.Beside, is the art really THAT bad? For the price, this game look great. And the plastic minis are still better than cardboard tokens.  I know that the board game renaissance has spoiled us, but come on!  This looks like a pretty cool family game for the price and is the kind of thing that will continue the process of mainstreaming D&D. No surprise, but Hasbro knows what it is doing here.</blockquote>
