Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition)

Neveststar6,4

I think my general problem with games like this is that they’re taking the least interesting part of a role-playing game (the combat system) and turning that into the entire game. Even just looking at combat, in a full role-playing game, the interesting thing is when players think outside of the box and do something unforseen to take advantage of the environment or use an ability in a novel way. You lose all of that in these stripped-down dungeon crawlers with some pasted on story at the beginning and end of each mission. Mechanically, this game is ok. Each character we’ve played so far does feel different and you will do much better if you use each character’s strengths and play off of each others’ abilities. Some of the rules are very fiddly though and could be streamlined. There are some balance problems with some missions and some monsters being much easier/harder than others. It would be nice if there was some mechanism to balance a mission in-progress to make it closer throughout. Instead, most of the mechanisms serve to make the winners stronger. This game shares a common problem with many co-op games. It can easily devolve into one of the hero players quarterbacking all of the hero turns. Over time, as the heroes level up, it can get harder to hold all of the info for every hero in one person’s head, but it’s certainly do-able.

One of the most popular Dungeon Crawler Board Games. For me has a great system of play, and now that can be played completely cooperative, makes it even better. I think it's a great game and even nowadays is difficult to beat him as the king of the genre.
