Completed Arcadia Quest by CMON

[Magnus Mercury]

I got my set, it's a pretty awesome package, not sure if w'll play the game, I kinda bought it for the minis.  But we'll see :)

 

For what it's worth, the game is pretty simple to pick up (my Descent group figured it out in short order).  The game moves at a fairly quick pace, so it keeps everyone involved.  PvPvE is an interesting design approach and we were constantly interfering with each others' tactics.

Got mine yesterday and read through the rules today. The icons ave representations seem pretty intuitive and the rules seem straight forward.

 

Definitely will play play but how the heck are people planning to keep all the models and tokens organized and in the box?? Did anyone else actually buy with intent to play?

You're supposed to play AQ and SDE? I thought they were for painting. :(

I use a mix of Plano cases for Descent tokens, and figured I'll do the same with AQ.  Right now I've just got stuff in various resealable baggies, and the figures in the boxes they came in.

Played last night, got my elf kicked by my boyfriend.  Looking forward to getting some other people to play with us so he can go slaughter them instead of me!  Seems to be a quick moving and fun game though.

 

i'm using some baggies and rubber bands to hold the pieces organized and the models are still in their trays.  Everything but the nameless figures fit in the box, but it seems a shame to toss the lovely guildmaster box, so i've tucked it in a spare corner for the moment.

 

I think I will store the models in the reaper minis case I got last kickstarter if I ever paint them.. (hahaha).

I was surprised as just how quickly impromptu alliances form and break in the game.  My group played a four-player game a couple weeks ago, and two different people ran the two scenarios we played.  There seems to be a lot of "swing" in power depending on how good your rolls are, due to chaining crits (every time you roll a crit you get to roll a bonus die, and the effect is cumulative).

 

This game won't supplant Descent in our lineup, but it's definitely a nice change of pace and plays faster.

So is this one done then? Has everyone received their rewards?

[hmdrake]

Nope, still waiting on mine, and EU is months off.

Thanks for the reply.

I received mine at the end of last week. Really happy with the minis. Way better than the pictures showed, IMHO. I am glad I got in on this one. I bought them just to paint up certain ones. I did come across organizing boxes from Broken Token, if anyone is interested in that sort of thing.

[Jubilee]

Woah, broken token is cool.

[hmdrake]

Recieved mine. The packing in this one was some of the most amazing I've ever seen, from the shipping to the board game box itself. I really dig the mini quality, and the rules look solid. I'm calling this one a win.

Received mine (Belgium) so I suppose the email with the tracking info will follow one of these days

 

Edit: and we have the confirmation email

Whoa, I lived in Handzame then Ghent for a while as a foreign student. It was a gamer in Ghent that taught me how to paint minis back in 1992-94. I still have the minis (and the paint) that I painted there. Belgium had some wonderful gaming groups. They played anything and everything.

In Ghent, was that the Red Baron club?
