[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2731259, member: 22622"] The setup is very complicated but the game is very much worth it. I played it twice with a full eight players on Halloween and the day after Halloween. (It was cool in that it was actually two completely different sets of groups at my house, with my dungeons and dragons game that Sunday, I had 22 seperarte people gaming at my apartment that weekend--- being a bachelor rocks) The first day I played it with a bunch of nongamers. I find that if you go on the website and use the errata rules the creator posted you'll be fine playing with newbies. Essentially you want to have a "game master" who runs everything, because all of the more complicated things are better handled by someoen whom understands gaming. The second group was filled with gamers and the game went by super quick. We started at 10 and finished at 1 (wheras before we started at 9 and finished at 2). Partly it was because I was with all gamers and partly because I was more familiar with what I needed to cut out and waht I didn't. We had a blast both times. I also find that if you go the extra mile and dim the lights a bit, add some spooky sound effect music and go in the kitchen literally normal but jump out of it in a black hood with a scream mask on and a big knife you stashed in the laundray hamper... you can really add to the atmosphere.
