[QUOTE="Wycen, post: 5069212, member: 13732"] Having read this thread, when one of our game group mentioned he was bringing a copy of Thunderstone to the gang tonight, I took 3 hours off from homework and went and played a game. Took longer than an hour, but it was our first time. I only played once, but the rest stayed for at least another game. I did like it, but in the beginning there are a lot of symbols and numbers to keep track of. The funny thing is that your first and second hands are almost gauranteed to be very much like Domininion, you know what you have and can only buy a limited amount of stuff. Going thru the dungeon seemed somehow not exciting. Maybe just the lack of interaction or limited number of monsters that keep popping up. Oh, yeah, the interaction between players is even less than the original Dominion (yes the Intrigue and Seaside expansions increase it). Only the cleric, to my knowledge affects the other players. I'll certainly play it again, but right now my impression is the replayability is not as much as Dominion. That might change because I know we used a basic setup and some of the monsters weren't in the dungeon. [/QUOTE]
