Mage Knight

It's OK.

Way too many moving parts, rules and restrictions that often don't make sense, and (to me) an annoying resource management system. Also, end-game pacing is kinda fucked - my experience is that you are struggling to get anything at all done up til the very end, when a switch flicks and you casually annihilate whatever's in front of you.

All that said, the core concept is good and we occasionally play a heavily house-ruled version.

Looks good, fights are tough but rewarding. Think Darkest Dungeon but boardgame. The basic rules and mechanics are not too easy but comprehencable.

It takes ages to play though. Four players is like 5-6 hours, unless you hurry yourself, but if you have to hurry to play a board game you're doing it wrong.

Also, card combos are important here, which some love, others hate. You can just go at it, or you can go "I play x, whoch gives me a bonus if I have y, together they generate enough mana so I can play z AND support it with v because I play r at minus one thanks to q"
