Quests are interesting and give you a general idea about the world that you are playing in quite accurately. What's more important, this game has several modes for those who like playing classical earn-points-win-the-game board games, as well as story-oriented ones.
This bg contains a lot of small parts and for the sake of your own time, you want to buy an organizer. You can live without it, but scooping up this game takes some time.
From the financial point of view, it strongly depends on amazon discounts. For me, paying for this game above 70 bucks is too much. Lucky me I got it for 45$ last spring.
The game is family friendly and has characters you can mix in with near and far. The game is intended to be played as one long story, but you can play one offs if you prefer and the amber mines adds co-op. Amber mines is absolutely worth it for the price btw.
The game quality is wonderful and easy to unpack. The gameplay is easy enough to teach a young kid about 8+ but complex enough to enjoy for even the most avid board game enthusiast. I just got the expansion "Amber mines" and am excited to try it out.
My only problem with the game is that it has so many parts, it can be difficult to keep organized and pack up after playing.
I bought a simple plastic organizer and this has worked wonders.
