I loved the first edition, it felt like a real adventure so I got the new version when it came out and finally played it with my son this morning. We played the intro scenerio and he beat me after 5 straight turns of stunning me with his blue dude and pounding me with mauler while my goblins just sat there and pinged away at him doing one damage each turn. My question is when does this get fun? He killed my fist ettin, blocked my path, and then we just sat there trading attacks, rolling the same dice for the next twenty minutes until he finally won. Is this how the game plays, are all the scenerios like this, post up in a spot, then roll the dice.Please no fan boy responses, if your the kind of dude who cannot hate a game just because you spent money on it then don't even respond. I am looking for a good dungeon crawler that I can love to play and this was not as fun as the first edition. Granted the first edition took 6 hours but it was 6 hours of fun that my group will always remember. I also have Super Dungeon Explore which I haven't played yet. If the second edition is like this the entire time I think I will just repurchase the first edition again because while I had fun playing with my son who is 13 the gameplay was like a trip to the dentists office, boring and tedious. Anyone have the same feelings as me?
I submitted a pic of the gameplay.
