Would anyone be interested in helping me test my cube? I built a new MTG cube from the ground up and would like a few people to help me filter cards and balance colors.

The Arcadia Quest Board Game looks nice. What kind of game is that? Is it fun?

It's more of a role playing, adventure game.

Each player controls a guild of 3 heros and the guild goes around the board accomplishing player vs player and player vs environment tasks. Completing tasks and killing enemies will generate currency which allows you to buy upgrades for the next scenario.

The game is broken up into 6 scenarios. 3 scenarios on the outside ring, 2 scenarios on the inside ring, and the final scenario. Each scenario typically takes hour and hour and half, though the more difficult scenarios can take longer. This is a great game if you are looking for something a little longer. The game play isn't difficult. Game is very simple and straightforward.



Combat is handle by rolling dice. When players attack other players or enemies, they roll attack dice and defender rolls defense dice to determine damage. Mechanics and equipment in game allows you to manipulate how many dice you can roll.

I really do like the game. It isn't as deep or strategic as some of the other games, but I like that the game give a sense of adventure. We are probably into the game about 10-12 hours and my friends seem to really enjoy it. They tend to be a little picky about games. We try to do 1 or 2 scenarios a weekend. This game is definitely meant to be played over several days.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you for your explanation. I do like adventure game style. Maybe I will try it out next time.

We started playing Pandemic Legacy recently. For those who are looking for something a little longer, check this one out. This game is meant to be played over a bunch of nights.

If you are unfamiliar with original Pandemic, it is a cooperative board game where you and your friends play against the game to find cures to diseases. The base game is a great gateway game and you win or lose as a team.

Pandemic Legacy takes the game to a whole new level. Pandemic Legacy is played over 12 "months." If you lose one month, you have the option to replay the month once. Each month is a game. As the months progress, the your copy of Pandemic Legacy evolves. New rules may be added. Characters may get new special abilities. Or the board may permanently change.

It is a little pricey, but definitely worth the $70 as the game offers between 12 and 24 games.
