| Played once when friends got it at a garage sale... | |
| A wonderful lightweight filler. | |
| Casero. Still a good, uncomplicated but interesting race game. I love the interaction during both phases, where you can bluff people you won't give up or you will give up. My rating is based only on that. |

| Missing pieces :( It is really fun to play! Had a bunch of fun playing with my three kids (ages 8-12). Plus, other players can affect your planned moves before your turn comes again. And collecting the "blood" of evil mutants? | |
| One of the few games I've had since my childhood. | |
| Played four times. To much to setup for an easy game. The possibilities seemed almost endless. |

| A great game in its own right. I do like mixing and matching all the different factions and seeing the synergies play out between them. | |
| Probably my favorite of FF's LCGs. Good theme applying to the game. | |
| Owned by friend. The artwork is wonderful, I love the theme, but without another person who feels interested enough to build a deck to compete with, the fun factor diminishes for me. Mehcanically it can be a bit clunky if you don't know the system well, but once you do the game is fantastic. | |
| AdvVLE, the best grand-tactical napoleonic game! Interesting and relevant decisions to make and the card art is excellent in terms of the theme. Not having random distribution means you can't play traditional drafts - but you can just create a card pool and do a draft from that. Plus the design seems a little "old-hat" since the goldrush that was deckbuilding games hit the market... As a card game CoC is luck driven and there's possibility for a deadlock. Always have it available if only 2 people show up to game night or whatever. That having said I enjoy the theme. You cannot play this fast, and with equal skill and deck, the game can stall very loooong time. And the second time, it was better. Dave: .... |

| Similar king-of-the-hill endgame problem as U.S. The 9 is for bad marketing, all things HS rock! * I would have preferred either a 3-figure squad or 3 defense or 0 attack. Could have been a good game if design stuck to the Darkover theme. The gladiators are tournament worthy, though Spartacus is overcosted until we get a few more gladiators. Both players chant something inane of choice for 30 seconds, first one to break down laughing or looks away loses. Finally, I'm glad there are more female characters, and those who complain of injecting so-called "political correctness" into the game should just relax. It shows how the game stands the test of time! |

| Kept with Wits and Wagers Family. I love the leaders token, the tactic cards and the ally decks - actually I love it all. I think I like that Eddard Stark is in Lannister hands at the beginning of the game. The Westeros cards both boost the power of the special tokens, particularly the Raven and the Iron Throne, which both were decidedly less useful than the Sword. :( In fact I'm not going to get this game, if I don't get a good offer. May be time to revisit this game. He who is not messed with by the other three players will win. The game continues until all of the cities are controlled by grouping railways, and then the cash is tallied, the most money wins. On the plus side it is much more dynamic than the original, and the lack of ships is surprisingly refreshing. Don't hesitate to use the new Westeros cards in place of the originals: the choice cards make being at the top of the Influence tracks even more meaningful. It's also nice to have the option of something similar enough to classic A Game of Thrones that can be played with only four. As a fan of the original I'm pleased to have this expansion though I cannot agree in any way that the four player is superior to the original five player. The game does have its downsides: it is a touch fiddly to calculate the income for instance, and it must be recalculated each round because fresh track comes into it. The game is also a bit on the long side, and seems to run in the 3 hour or so window, which seems a bit longer than the decisions involved here warrant. | |
| Christmas present from the Wilkinsons. Have not yet played. The tactics and leaders really bring something to the base game as well. Some are designed specifically for just the original game which are nice. Takes ships out of the equasion. Harder to take neutral cities: good. In Laenderbahnen the groups are completely player determined, which adds an interesting nuance to the game. The game continues until all of the cities are controlled by grouping railways, and then the cash is tallied, the most money wins. It worked out pretty well. | |

| Can be fun with the right people, you just need a lot of them. The art is fun, and well done, obviously they had fun creating this game. |

| A great light game which employs it's theme very well. The game is quick and random enough to be considered as a lighthearted filler. But now I can't stop thinking about it and have had to resist the impulse to buy it. I look forward to another try. | |
| A great light game which employs it's theme very well. Played as both sides now. Guess i have to cancel my work on that game OR rethink alot =) Now i need to really check out this game! And if you spend alot of time determining that as an initiate, it can give away your proximity to the nuns. There's the tension, the mystery, and the chance for your friend to give your perfect position away... However, the game plays significantly different as you don't need to be as conservative with your moves. There's also the possibility that players will make a mistake and move incorrectly...and it won't get noticed. I'm happy to report it was good enough to not shy away from anymore. That said, it is a fun game, but something I'd have to be in the right mood to play. As a game explainer on this one, you have to take your time and be very clear since during the game you won't be able to correct any misplayed rules since everything is hidden. But overall a great and very funny game! (3+0+2) (2 plays) | |
| I think the rules are poorly written. But it gets easy once you got some idea.... Seems very hard for the player doing the searching. |

| Decent large group game. Not for the dim. | |
| This is a fun immersion game. | |
| Always enjoyed playing this. The definitions aren't well defined. | |

| It does okay at capturing the feel of the early re-imagined series, but game play is dreadful. Thankfully no nose or forehead ridges! | |
| Fracking brilliant. | |
| Rules were confusing. For one, it's a bit slow with two, but mostly I think that the abitrary and random nature of the game would be less infuriating in a non-competitive environment. Download the optional rules from Avalanche's site. Especially towards the end the right dice roll decides a lot when you get to deliver the last good of any type. |
