Rulebook) and 'Dungeon Masters Guide' (ie. Adventure Book) within.How much of those previous boxes did you need though to run you 'current' level?I think it was 1-3, 4-14, 15-25, 26-36, 36+Surely thats where the idea of multiple basic (environmentally themed) boxed sets comes it.So if you already have lots of Orcs/Goblinoids, don't buy the Forest/Wizards Tower (Green) Boxed Set, instead go for one of the others.So, for the established gamer, I'm not seeing the value-add. For new gamers, I will agree that it's obvious.Well I still think if you have ten (lets say) different coloured and themed basic level boxed sets, you will have something for everyone.Yes the cards were great, weren't they! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I think you have to stagger the releases. But I am not sure exactly whether you should release all the basic packs first (fire dungeon, ice castle, sunken caverns) or release the three theme packs (low, mid, high-level fire dungeon) one at a time.Maybe they could do a special introductory offer if you buy the low, mid and high-level boxed sets together. Individually they could all be $40, but buy all 3 for $100.Ah right, thanks for that.I dunno, I just like to have it boiled down to the essence of fun. I haven't played the D&D Board Game yet myself so I can't say how detailed it is, but reading between the lines it seems to remove the need for the micro-management of minutiae.Well I have read two reviews of it so far and both were very positive.I think where it probably loses marks is in variety, but thats something which could be easily solved with a little imagination in the Adventure Book part with regards puzzle, play variations and event cards.I just think it will be up to game designers to start thinking outside the box as to how to challenge gamers with this new format and still keep things fresh.</blockquote>
