Plays exactly the same, maybe even a better experience for some as there's less reaching around the table and acrylic frames to help the tiles stay in place.
Its fine as a worker placement. But xmen not working together doesnt really make sense. And the situations are all pretty similar. I would just get lords of wtaerdeep instead.
Everyone raved about this game, so I finally ponied up and bought it. I have to admit this is about the biggest let down I have had in a board game in a long time. It's mostly based on an app. I guess I hate app-hybrid games. If I want to play a video game, I will just play a video game full stop. I just grew tired quickly of having to stare at my cell phone.
The artwork is very nice, and I am sure the story is very good, but it's more of a text based ride along and very little strategy. I just don't care for it. I just don't get it.
I like playing with my 10year old through I do find some of the pieces extra's - so we dont play with the 'scoring tocken' and we just add the camels 5 points. this reduces 2 extra piles on the table. Its a table not a small space game - but fast and easy to teach.
