timechangeSigh. You just had to come in here and start pointing out reviews and stuff. You just had to meddle in my affairs and make me hit the commit button. Wife's faction shall decrease for this.
timechangeIt appears that most of the ratings are from people who have never actually played the game, but are basing their scores on the track record of the designer (which admittedly, is very, very good). I wouldn't give too much credence to the BGG score of the game before it even comes out.
That said, the game components look great and the rules are very intriguing, so I have high hopes for this game to be pretty spectacular.
This bodes extremely well for this game, as does this review from a playtest with the game's designer at Dice Tower: http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1603978/i-played-dice-tower-con-eric-lang-here-my-review
Sounds like it's on par with Zombicide and a strong bundle drop - I'm in!!
(I really need to find a local miniatures painter who will take on commission jobs for all the games I've ended up buying from Massdrop...)
