This is an excellent purchase. The combination of the red attack dice and blue attack dice into one white die with skulls and shields cuts down on time passing dice around. The gameplay s easy to pick up, and the Basic game is great for younger kids or new players. The Master game brings a much more in-depth view of the game, allowing for very advanced and inventive armies to be built, using basic and advanced stratagems. The ability to build your own map is what draws many to this game, allowing the players to fight epic wars on any type of terrain that is including with the set. The exclusive Elite Onyx Vipers are an amazing addition to this set, but can also be picked up in the 10th expansion wave released for those who have missed this set. VERY high replay value. WARNING: May be a source of addiction for any one over the age of 2.
