The Hungry Gamer Reviews Merchants of the Dark Road

[@Tanks.With.Teeth.Malloy]

Wonderful review. I m very glad to see its getting some love. I agree with everything you said, I did get the deluxe version and went all in. I do agree that the good could have been a little better, but all and all if thats my only issue, I dont have one :) Also. Metal coins def worth it ;)

[@HungryGamerReviews]

Do you enjoy the solo

[@brainsongames]

I confess that I find metal coins hard to resist! But between Iron Clays and the coins from other games, I don’t think I’d need more.

[@HungryGamerReviews]

I'm proud of your self control!!!

[@brainsongames]

@@HungryGamerReviews Haha! I have buckets of metal coins, but make a good playmat and I’m a pushover. I’ve gone back to late pledge games I bought just for a playmat!

[@HungryGamerReviews]

@@brainsongames did you get the playmate for Flamecraft?

[@brainsongames]

@@HungryGamerReviews I definitely would have! I didn’t back it though.

[@HungryGamerReviews]

@@brainsongames late pledge!!!!

So this is getting a lot of mixed reviews. What expectations would you set up for someone getting into this game so they’re not blindsided by hype?

[@HungryGamerReviews]

Not to be lame. But it's good. I think if you are concerned about my quibbles in the video then you might have issues.

[@ferver-san]

Don't buy it. Go check the comments on BGG ratings and you'll see several similar complaints from different users.

[@SuperLazyllama]

You could always try it on board game arena and see if you like it. I think that does still have some prototype rules , but it will give you a decent idea

[@kosterix123]

how is the AI?

[@HungryGamerReviews]

Very easy to operate. It has not happened to me yet, but I have heard that sometimes the AI is very stupid and you wind up w one score very low while the other is high. But that is heresy for me. I can see how it could happen...just haven't seen it myself

If you think coins are expensive for U$40, imagine paying (40+ 60% tax) x5.6 in Brazil #crying

[@HungryGamerReviews]

60%?!?! Holy smoke

[@evo_moraes]

@@HungryGamerReviews unfortunately, yes… the brazilian government is a thief
