Today I received Descent in the mail, very excited as I was, I immediately raced to a friend to play the game.Last night I already read through the rules, so it was very much just lay the game out and play, with some back and forth between the rules.
I played as the Overlord and my friend picked up 2 heroes (2 player game = 1 player controls 2 heroes).
And I completely obliterated him as the Overlord in both games (First Blood (introductionary game) and The Fat Goblin 1st Encounter), it was absolutely no more fun for him and we just put the game away to play Space Alert
.Neither of us is necessarily the better 'tactical genious' or better 'boardgame player' in my opinion, so it was really weird and dissapointing for us to see the game to be so unbalanced for him.
Then I searched around online and saw everyone say that the Heroes are overpowered.
So a couple things came to mind:
- Did we play the game wrong?
- Is the game only unbalanced at 2-player / 2-hero games?
- Am I really that good?
As we both are very much interested in the sheer quality and supposed greatness of the game, I was wondering if you guys could be of help..
I'm reading through the rules again, and haven't found anything that we did particularily wrong.
Thank you!
