Huh. I don't find those two similar at all, except for the superficial tiles/minis comparison... But that's just visually. They don't really play the same at all.

Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide shot selection!

Yeah, the main reason it that we tend to play more competively than cooperatively in our games. So Dungeon Run fits better for us than Castle Ravenloft.

Pretty sure they're somewhere in between Risk and HS.

If you take the components in this picture:


Then take that information and apply what you can see to this picture:


Mix it up with this picture:


and put it all together with this picture:


then everything should be clear. Right?

I told myself I could hold off on putting this on my Christmas list among a few other games, but the pics of the figures take me back to when I was a teenager and my cousin taught me how to play this...

Looks like it may have to get on the Christmas list after all...

Yeah, and the box art is just too awesome to not have it in your collection for that alone.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?

WOW... I finally had a Fantastic GAMING Weekend at MechaniCon in West Chester, PA. I played 17 games of "HEROSCAPE" (would have been 18, but there was an odd number of players for one tournament and I got a "BUY" or "Bye" for one round that allowed me to go for coffee)... and also one session of "Shadows Over Camelot."
