These board games are a cool D&D introduction, and if you own several, you have an excellent collection of Minis and boards to run a campaign with.

These boxes are a great deal for the minis.... you can usually pick the boxed games up on amazon in the 45-50 dollar price range and you get approx 40 or so minis in the box.... if you're into painting miniatures, this is a great deal.... I like painting them to use in my actual D&D campaigns.....

Can someone explain to me how do they make the artwork of the monster card pics? I've seen even fans do it themselves. Can someone help me with that?

Hmm I've never played these d&d board games but I think I might try this when it releases! Out of curiosity, does anyone have an opinion on which of the previous games are the best so far??

does anyone knows is the tiles are compatible with descent (2nd ed) tiles?

While I agree with many others that the graphic design is fairly bland and could use a nice makeover, I do really appreciate that they've kept it compatible with all the previous games in the system. I think there would be a much larger outcry if they changed it up to the point where you couldn't shuffle the cards and tiles from the previous games together.

Nice overview. @ 7:50 you got that backwards. the dragon is the monster placement space. the elemental symbols are used for the adventure 5 scenario in which when there is a fourth symbol of the same type ie air then the air elemental villain is placed on the tile. It adds advantage disadvantage which is a 5th edition mechanic. it also has town scenarios. I like the art a lot.

Tom, does the Shadow Dragon come on it's own base or stand up by itself?

"Alalalalaallllaa, the human fighter"

when buying alternate advancement, if character A wants to buy tier 1 plus 1 to dmg and Character B wants to as well, they each pay 500 gold right? For the tier 1 for each of them? Or is it 600 for that second character to buy the tier 1 +1 dmg since Char A already bought it?

I got Castle Ravenloft when it came out and I guess it wasn't what I expected or hoped for. I started playing it again solo during the pandemic and decided to accept it for what it is. This and C.R. have the same character classes: Cleric, Fighter, Ranger, Rogue, Wizard with 3 having the same races, too. So I guess if combined you'd get more skill cards to choose from, but not true new characters. It looks like they changed how you level up, and added critical success and failure (1 & 20). And maybe trap encounter cards for tiles with trap tokens? I'm wondering which follow-up would work best with Castle Ravenloft?

Hi I am new to DnD so which do you think i should start with?

Nice review! Are there any other D n D tabletop games that are compatable besides Ravenloft, Asardolon, and Druzzit? Pardon my spelling...

Really like these games; have the first three and they're just staight up D&D monster-slaying action, with some other goals tossed in to keep you interested. Pure, simple, fun. I'm just a little surprised they didn't take the opportunity to redirect the series a little. A different environment would have been worth the price of not being able to use the tiles with the other games (we've got three massive stacks already). Even if only half were forest or something. I just have no compelling reason to add this one, and I'm a big fan of these.

i played this and was so excited to give it a go, having grown up with heroquest and dungeon. it was... ok. more linear than heroquest, and too complicated for most people these days. oh how i miss the relish of complex board games! but their day is sort of done; computers handle the complexity way better than folks these days, and, maybe that’s good. we wasted a ton of time poring over our dnd books, and it was fun, but in hindsight, games like dungeon were way better. good review, that’ll do, pig.

The only thing Tom mentioned that made this version unique was the markings for the trap tokens. There are larger character upgrades in this version that were not in say, Ashardalon or Ravenloft. Also there’s a cool town mystery sequence in this one that you don’t find in the others. That is all.

Doesn't the monster act directly after your turn and not after a whole round?

Strange that they went from the "roll a 20 and spend 5xp" levelling mechanic to "pay 1000gp". I know that the Legend of Drizzt doesn't have a need for gold per se, but I wonder why they changed it. Were they just concerned that people weren't leveling enough, or at least not regularly enough? How long does it take to collect 1000gp in the game?

@KKDT

9 жыл бұрын

As far as I see it, this is optional way to level up *between* adventures, when you play campaign - you spend 1k gold and your hero starts next adventure with level 2. During adventure d20+5xp rule should stay in normal way. (And instead of leveling you can invest your gold between adventures in other bonuses, like these +1dmg or +1hp tokens / working like some enchantments or potions).

You know, as simple as these games are, they just work. You can quickly teach someone the rules, and you don't have your friends pissed at you for being a dick (Descent 2nd OL deck anyone?). Compare this to something like "Shadows of Brimstone" that still has you searching through poorly written instructions after 3 plays and I say it's a win for anyone with friends that will play, but aren't big into table top games.

The D&D IP is a burden on these games. People insist on expecting a P&P RPG feeling despite it stating it is an adventure board game. It's a dungeon run, a co-op hack & slash, and a very fun one at that. Our playgroup was avoiding these type of games because we want to play together as a team, we're tired of someone always having to be the bad guy, and Myth was completely unplayable out of the box. Thankfully we got Legend of Drizzt and Castle Ravenloft to scratch that itch.

I expect this game impatiently but I have think this heroes are stronger than olders because they can choose two utility powers (excluded those of LoD maybe) J'attend ce je avec impatience mais je pense que ces héros sont biens plus forts que ceux des premières boîtes surtout parce qu'ils peuvent choisir deux Utility Powers (en français pourquoi pas ^^')

I just wish they added some extra mechanics like D&D say dodge chance stuff I know it's all built in as the block or whatever, but still. I also have the Pathfinder Card game and I think if some company would merge these 2 ideas it would be super fun! If we could get the items and more levels that PFCG and the tile and figures of these DnD boardgames it would make a hell of a good time!

Greetings from En World! ;D Nice review!

This could be a good live play game for you, guys.

They need to hire a graphical designer for this game

I agree with Tom, this is a co-op puzzle game, NOT a dungeon crawler. I disagree with Tom when he says its fun. I would much rather play Dead of Winter for a co-op or Last night on Earth if I wanted models OR pretty much any other dungeon crawler for a light RPG. For a pseudo RPG there is so little choice to be made in this game. Almost always there will be only one correct course of action. "Well, I have to explore or bad stuff happens so lets explore". "Well, i'm fighting so I guess I attack'. "Well its the boss so everybody pop your daily". And it very often boils down to 1 person telling everyone what to do because its painfully obvious if you don't do it your character gets punished. Personally I buy these games, and throw out the rules, and player cards and use the components for playing better games or RPGs.

Just a tip, if you listen to interviews with the author Drizzt is pronounced "Drisst", not "Drizzit". Sorry, it bothered me

I agree however the minis in the D&D games are far superior. I actually use the minis from the D&D board games for my Descent games.

I have wrath of ashardalon and it honestly doesn't get any playtime at all. I was so excited when I got it but the game mechanics just kill the experience. You are pretty much forced to always explore which means you end up with a ton of monsters on the board and you are usually running away from them instead of actually fighting. The monsters always get the first attack. There's no way to avoid it. You explore - the monster comes out and then it immediately activates. It's not that the game is hard - it just doesn't feel like a good dungeon crawl.

@stevequincy388

Ryan Wilshere If you look on the boardgamegeek website, there are some fantastic fan-made advanced rules for these games that take out a lot of the crappy mechanics (like monsters always attacking first). There's even a great character leveling system for campaign play, all the way to level 9 I believe. I liked these games a lot before, but once I discovered these "advanced" rules, now I love them. Too bad WOTC didn't implement some of these rules, but oh well.

I know my reply is 2 years too late, but you're putting the monsters on the wrong markers on the tiles. The monsters go on the "dragon head" picture. The Elelmental Emblems on the tiles are for another scenario.

Anyone going into this game thinking it's a dungeon crawl will be disappointed, because it really isn't. This is a co-op board game that happens to take place in dungeon-y spaces using D&D combat mechanics. If that's not your thing, there are plenty of other co-ops to choose from...even the zombie ones...if you're not sick to f**king death of zombie games.

They didn't release another one of these for 2016, I was expecting them to.

Tom basicly reviewed the previous games. This standalone/expansion has a lot going for it. The biggest change is the focus on campaigning. Players are encouraged to play the game as a campaign and the game even comes with coins that players can earn and spend on buffs and upgrades between games. The game also customise the monster and encounter decks depending on how well or how badly you played. You even keep your level between games. The minis in this game is also much better quality than the previous games. I feel the focus on campaigns are a nice addition to the series and big reason owners of the previous games might want to consider this iteration.

I bought Wrath of Ashardalon and Descent 1 & 2...even sprung for Imperial Assault. Every time I regret my purchase after I gave into the "new shiny, appeal" and rave reviews. At the end of the day if I want an RPG-campaign I revert back to real RPG's(I play DnD, Iron Kingdoms & SW: Edge of the Empire). I understand the niche that these "light RPG boardgames" are meant to fill, but they never succeed as scratching that RPG-itch(for me or my family, anyways). They become incredibly fiddly and, at least for me, never capture the feeling of an epic journey...instead feeling like just a smash-up of disjointed firefights. I wanted to like all of them...but at the end of the day they all feel like combat skirmishes, not role-playing games. I am going to try to resist the urge to buy the next big entry in this genre...I should know better. I think I've persisted in the vain hope that I can get an RPG experience in a boardgame. I think all of these types of games could act as stepping stones from other boardgames to true RPG's for the uninitiated, however.

@Raphaelus13

The thing is, they were designed as a combat skirmish game. As a fan of Descent, it would never cross my mind to recommend it to fill a tabletop role game niche. Bringing this mindset or expectation is prejudicial to its enjoyment. Commonly, when people bring the comparative term, "RPG" refers to the pop phenomenon of the rpg game (think the elements video games use/ fantasy/ XP), and not tabletop role games. The heart of TTRPGs is definitively telling stories socially. Swords and orcs are just the frosting. When people in forums ask if an app or whatever game, can serve as a RPG substitute for their short time, I am always confused.

Actually, the tile-based movement system is one of the worst rules in the game. It should have just given monsters a speed rating and based the AI on a single turn's movement rather than a tile's distance.

XD haha Alalalala The human fighter!

Big disappointment. I never thought the original system was very good. They would have been better off redesigning the system rather than just making another game for the old system. They completely missed the opportunity to make an expansive world where characters to level up from game to game. This is pretty much an expectation now with these dungeon crawl systems. The encounter mechanic when you don't explore a tile was not a very good one imo. I just took options out of the game where it was all about moving to the next tile and not interacting with anything on the tiles. If they had redesigned the system, but kept it so that you would use the minis from the other games, tiles and such they could have been step ahead of what the newer systems are trying to do. They could have produced cards for higher level monsters and so forth and set up a line of expansions and new adventures for leveling persistent characters. Plus they have the D&D name. There are just better options out there right now, and probably better ones on the horizon. Most of them are all kickstarter babies and have suffered from lack of adequate testing and development. Wiz Kids really coulda shoulda made something that topped Shadows of Brimstone, and even Myth with all of it's problems. They somehow snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Epic fail.

O, come on, Tom. Those names aren't hard to pronounce at all. I know you can do it! ;)

The design quality of the pieces as well as the diversity of the gameplay seems poor. I expect a much higher standard at this day of age when it comes to these big IP's. An D&D inspired game should be grand and fantastical, it's not the days of ol' AD&D, and it sure aint Basic Roleplay or Rolemaster, it's D&D and this just feels very pedestrian, not even grimdark, just bland in gameplay and production quality and that's a real shame and another wasted opportunity.

It is strange, gameplay is fine, miniatures are amazing and cards and tiles look so... bland and boring. I don't know what it is, but for me the graphic design of those is kinda off.

Years later I enjoyed every D&D computer game between Eye of the Beholder and Neverwinter Nights. When I found out that the "real" D&D was role-playing (e.g., "getting into character"), a page full of stats, a whole lot of reading, and required someone to spend days or weeks setting up a campaign for everyone else, I simply wasn't interested. I wanted to play a board game, not try my hand at ad-lib acting in some long drawn-out campaign with a piece of paper and a pen. When Castle Ravenloft appeared, I was one of the first to buy it. I thought to myself - "at last, D&D the way I always imagined it" (except for the computer games of course). These games fill exactly the right niche for people like myself.

Descent was $60. You get about 40 miniatures per game...all pretty equal in detail and quality. FFG gives you tokens for bosses or whatever (just like imperial assault) while the D&D games give you nice big models! I love both games but Descent nickel and dimes you. Love Descent and don't want to spend a fortune for minis? Get the Descent 1.0 conversion kit and use the multitude of cheap Wizards of the Coast minis as proxy. Both games are great and completely different in own ways. Use that to your advantage as a gamer and have fun with both!

+Suzumebachigr I've been playing D&D since '79 and i'm not a fan of 4th or 5th. As to what you need, a DM's Guide, Players handbook and if your just starting i would suggest a good low level module. Of course if you want you can get a MM(Monster Manuel) to add monsters to the adventure. from there it depends on where you want to go. If you can find an old Forgotten Realms book, snag it, the new realms suck. The book will give you a whole world to play in that the DM can alter as he pleases.

+purplexenno I really liked first Edition AD&D Monks and Bards...

I don't see any point in playing a pseudo RPG boardgame when you can play the far superior "real" rpg and use miniatures.

The "point" is that these 1- Take MUCH less time 2- Require no DM 3- Can be played by as few as 1 person... and 4- are simple to learn and jump in, unlike most "real" RPGs Perhaps you consistently have a group of seasoned, knowledgeable "real" RPG players available to you any time you want to play. The majority of the rest of the gaming world doesn't have that. You can pick these games up and play them easily and only take an hour or two to run a fun little session. ALSO.... this is a GREAT introduction to RPG's for kids. Playing this game w/ a kid is a LOT of fun.
