Spyke and Flower are munchkins – adventurers whose sole purpose in life is to kill monsters, take their stuff, and level up...so they can kill more monsters and take more stuff. In this alternate timeline, they've come to the Red Dragon Inn to see what's up at this tavern that they've heard so much about...

The Good: The tavern's new patrons are eager to make a good impression.
The Bad: It isn't working.

The Red Dragon Inn: Allies – Spyke and Flower is our first standalone Allies expansion, letting two players drink, brawl and gamble the night away to prove that they are the best munchkin around. It contains everything you need to play the game, including a brand new Drink Deck as well as a new automated third-player game variant. So play head to head with a friend, or combine this game with any of our other The Red Dragon Inn sets for parties of three or more players.

Top notch

Probably the best coins I’ve ever seen for a game.

Way Better Than I Was Expecting

I was a bit on the fence when I saw semi-cooperative, but you have options for that. You can play the game in campaign mode or one-off mode, and from there you have the option of full competitive, semi-cooperative, or full co-operative.

I've only played Green Hill Zone so far, which hasn't been difficult, but I'd expect the later zones and the unlockables to be much tougher. Basically, you have 3 options for building a dice pool each turn, and then a few things at your disposal to mitigate bad rolls.

Without spoiling too much, this game can technically go up to 6 players, which I tried once. Played fine as it was, but made the robotniks a bit too easy, so I'll probably come up with a house rule to balance that one out.

Incredibly Worth It

This box has so much content in it for the price you pay. 25 scenarios, but actually a few more because there's sometimes an A and a B for scenarios, and each scenario can take 1-3 hours depending on your party. My only gripe is there's 6 heroes, but only up to 4 players for the scenario booklets. You can always try to house rule more in though.

Basically, it's a scenario-based skirmisher. Initiative bag decides who goes when, and you have some power over your foes because you know what action they are going to take and even have a little bit of say in how it carries out sometimes. But don't expect that to make this a walk in the park, because even on Veteran difficulty, we've had a few close calls throughout the campaign so far.

Great puzzle game! Works great solo too!

The Expansions Really Improve Bang

My first experience with the series was the Dice Game, followed by Samurai Sword. I'd say Samurai Sword is my favourite mechanically, but it only has one expansion, so it doesn't have the variety this Dynamite Box offers.

Bang is a decently old title, so the base game has its share of issues, but the expansions do a pretty good job of addressing those.

The heavy use of symbology (one of which isn't even on the reference cards), and the confusing rules behind the different coloured cards are issues that I plan to solve by printing my own reference cards. Highly recommend that at least one player is incredibly well-versed with the rules before playing with multiple expansions at once.
