Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Mayhem Battle for Baldur's Gate Expansion, Black

tl;dr if you liked the base game, getting this expansion is worth itI have the base Dungeon Mayhem game and fell in love with it immediately after the first game, so had to get the expansion! The cards are thin and flimsy, and don't have a protective coating to make them water-resistant or durable. The cards are slightly smaller than a standard deck of cards, so if you wanted to sleeve them to make them last longer, you would need to pay attention to the sizing. I've played with the cards a couple times, and so far they have not shown signs of wear and tear despite being held and shuffled a lot. However, due to the lack of a protective coating, I expect these cards to not last as long, so will be looking to sleeve them ASAP.I have experience playing D&D with my friends, and I played this with them and they enjoyed the game a lot! One of my friends who played D&D with us said that they prefer playing using these cards than playing actual Dungeons and Dragons because the cards tells her what to do and it is easier to play and understand. She said that she often felt intimidated by the choices in regular D&D and couldn't get into the games as there were so many rules and stats to pay attention to, so this game really is a more accessible diet version of the real thing!It doesn't encompass all the aspects of a regular game of D&D, but it does a good job simulating the best parts of the game :) would recommend if you want to introduce D&D to people or get them interested, the cards are beautifully illustrated and the gameplay is really easy to learn and teach. Gameplay is super quick and satisfying as you can easily set up game ending combos like a Nat20 in a real game of D&D haha(there is also a very cute illustration on the inner flap of the lid when you open the box!! A lovely detail I think)

Brilliant game! It’s one of our go to games for the kids but adults will definitely enjoy this. Would suggest getting all the expansions to give far more variety.

Love this game. Gives you a little insight into d&d and a feel if magic the gathering. Its like...dnd magic the gathering for kids.My sons will contest that comparison but that's how I see it.In fact i wish magic the gathering was as easy to play as this. There..I said it!Played with husband and boys who collectively have about 60 years of d&d/mtg experience between them. They thoroughly enjoy it.it can be gast paced and if you are clever you can build really good moves that just pound the enemy one after another.There is probably a term for that.Anyway I recommend

Great to put away for Christmas

Fun little combat card game. Basically attack your opponent/s with character based skills. Including some famous Dungeons and Dragons characters and monsters. Good quick game that can be played in 10-15mins. Lots of variety in the different characters.

I love this expansion, really interesting monsters. Unfortunately all my cards were slightly bended on the side which is a shame

I loved the regular game so I just had to get the expansion pack! very good cards and fun game.

Even if you are not familiar with d&d this is an easy to learn fun cardgame. With all the expensions playable with more then 6 players
