“For me, it’s a must own. It definitely reminds me of all those fun times playing Ravenloft, as the PCs stood against the hordes of darkness. Needless to say, this one will see a lot of replay at my house. 9 out of 10.”

“I very much love playing this game. You have the option to just focus on your own plan and not worry too much about the other players, or you can see what their plan is and try to change yours to a better strategy due to what they are doing.”
