    I don't know what it would had cost with the minis included but I kinda wonder / think if / that would had been worth it. Also bought Duel of Ages II master set and only found out about this by looking for the 360 in case something had come out of that but this KS kinda make that a not happening thing which is kinda sad and somewhat annoying. This mean buying it again and yet without miniatures which who knows ... Maybe it doesn't pull the volumes of purchases to make it worth-while to make plastic miniatures, but if it made any sense then making it in bulk from the start seem like the most cost effective way. I don't know what 3D printed miniatures cost and what quality they achieve.

    Very fun to watch. I've actually always loved playing DOA2 on a smaller board with fewer platters, so this captures that vibe. More compressed play makes for more dynamic games in some ways, but the platters still feel expansive due to the art. Overall, love the new look of the game in terms of the board, characters cards, and character stands (yay!)--a big upgrade aesthetically. More streamlined, but I didn't feel like anything was really missing from the core experience. Looking forward to seeing how the market system works--didn't see that in play.
