I still have my copy from when I was a teen. I decided to back the new one as a future gift for my nephew. He turns 2 actually tomorrow. So it will be a bit before we can enjoy it. Trying to decide if I should paint the minis or just give him the game as a present wrapped still?Now that my in-person gaming is limited to occasional one-offs, I am very glad to have my HQ on the way. It was my introduction to tabletop gaming, my Red Box. Over the years I've tried (and failed) to find a substitute to my copy that I lost years ago, no other game has come close to it.
And it's not just nostalgia. I have played it recently and love it. Everyone I've introduced to it loves it. I've assembled my own copy with print outs of cards, stand-in miniatures, etc.
I'm debating painting mine as well. I typically paint board game minis, but in this case the colors are pretty useful for categorizing. We'll see.I still have my copy from when I was a teen.
