We had to use Google to make sure we dont miss any of the skill cards, and it seems to be common problem for this edition. Some of the skill cards just have wrong names!
So disappointing for the 60+ dollars game!
All the rest is good for now, but we just had our first scenario finished.
We played 2 adults, 14 years and 6.5 years kids. Junior kid needed some help, but he’s a very hardcore board game player (for his age). Normally I’d say they game is 10+.
Resume? Good game, overall improvement of the series, all components and figure look really wow, but game desperately needs another edition to fix stupid baking mistakes.
It's a shame that such a great game has so many typos and inconsistency in cards and rules. We had to download errata to correct all the mistakes.
For my money I am willing to pay a little extra to buy the pre-painted minis just to save myself the time of doing it myself. But that depends on the availability of the product. On that note I am happy with what I got. An experienced mini painter will do better, but I typically won't get any better results than the pre-painted ones anyway.
Of note, some minis have bent pieces, like weapons, arms, or wings. In my experience this is a normal part of resin minis. The delicate parts tend to warp and bend. The fix is to use hot water to relax the resin and straighten the part, and cold water to get it to hold in the place you position it. I don't fault WizKids for this at all.
Though I have to knock WizKids this time as four of the minis came broken. A FIRST! All three beholder minis, one of the veterans, and one of the flying swords. The three beholder minis were all broken off their bases. The veteran was completely missing their left arm. And the flying sword was off its base.
A little super glue and the three beholders were as good as new. The breaks were at the base of the beholder heads and not noticeable once repaired.
I was worried that the veteran's arm was irreplaceable as it was not in its package. However I found the arm later, after I opened the packaging with the grungs, intellect devourers, and flying swords. Like the beholders a little super glue and the arm was fixed back in place. I think this was a product of the casting as it appears the arm was a separate piece with a pin that slotted into place. The pin or the slot must have been the wrong size, as after gluing it into place I noticed a small gap. Should it fall out again for some reason I will need to drill the slot to get a better fit.
The flying sword actually wasn't broken. Instead it is like most of WizKids other flying creatures and it just slots into a key on the base. No big deal.
Based on the arm being in a separate package It looks like WizKids deliberately packaged these broken pieces rather than having them break due to jostling. So I have to give WizKids a demerit for quality control this time around. And the first time I actually had a broken part arrive in a WizKids product. At least the broken parts all arrived in the same box so I could put them back together again.
In all I am happy with what I got and look forward to playing the board game, and using its pieces for Dungeons and Dragons.

Easy to play. Components are great. Great value!

Rules are pretty simple but you need to read carefully. After 13 'Adventures' we were still finding rules we had 'missed'. A better layout of rules (some are buried in manual in odd places- but its only a few pages) or online glossary lookup would be useful.
Lo dicho muy buena resolución.
