Great stuff Tom. I love this game. We played for the first time in a while last weekend after receiving the 2 new expansion packs and it was awesome.
We had two people that were behind and sucking, while the other 3 were doing really good when we came upon a monster (or event?) that caused our souls to switch bodies. This caused everybody to switch places randomly, and the 2 that were behind (one of whom was moi) got into bodies of people that were doing good. The souls would switch back based upon a coin flip after each round. So it was a race where the people that liked their new bodies were trying to kill the monster quick, while the others were trying to delay. We survived the first round and flipped tails, so we didn't switch back. We killed the monster in the 2nd round so stayed in our new bodies.
I managed to have the most points after the game was over and thought I was the winner, but unfortunately the character whose body I had switched out of turned out to be a wereboar. This was based upon a card I had drawn earlier in the game when a wereboard nicked me. Karma at it's best. This meant that if he killed the group he would win. Guess what, I only had 5 points left, he took me out in the first round. It came down to the wereboar and one other player, with that player winning. Great stuff, legends are made out of this kind of ending.
Your reviews continue to help me with future purchases. This is a game I have wanted to try for a awhile and after seeing your review, I definitely will be buying this.
Your reviews are a huge factor for me when looking for new games and I can't begin to tell you how many games I have purchased because of them. Much to my wife's chagrin.
Thanks for the review Tom. It helped me finally push this game into the must buy list. It showed up yesterday and I can't wait to try it out. It looks like so much fun...
If I enjoy it as much as you do I will own those expansions in a heartbeat.
