The pages are glossy and are ring bound (am I the only one that is a sucker for glossy book pages?!). The book is just over 100 pages thick and has a semi hard cover. The use of tokens helps to minimise this. In fact, I think it was probably a good move as when there are multiple enemies on the book it can become crowded. They have chosen to use tokens for a couple of enemy types and figurines for the rest, but I don't feel at any point that this detracts from the game. There are a few tokens with token stands (I've not had to use these yet however) and a couple of dice which act as modifiers to skill checks. So, I'm forever battling the preference of card feel with the want to keep my games nice. There's just something about the feel of cards in your hand when they're not sleeved that appeals to me. Although, the action card deck does get shuffled a fair bit. I haven't yet felt the need to sleeve any of the cards.

They come in two different sizes (standard and mini American as per Fantasy Flight sizes for sleeves). There are a few decks of cards of nice quality. Initially I was a little worried that once assembled that this would not stand the test of time, however so far it has held up well and I feel like it will continue to do so throughout. To keep track of the campaign there is a campaign dashboard, with cardboard dials to represent the time taken on a mission, the food supply, scrap supply, clues found, population and morale of the colony. The detail in the characters is great, they are quite chunky with a nice weight to them, and they have been glazed with a sort of 'Nuln oil' type effect so that they look pretty good straight out the box, with no real need of a paint job. I have a few different games with miniatures, but none that felt as high a quality as these did. I was blown away by the quality of the miniatures in this game. I had read that this game was like an 'adult version' of Stuffed Fables, with slightly better mechanics, therefore decided to give this one a go first. I actually came across it by accident whilst trying to decide if Stuffed Fables (also by Plaid Hat with Jerry as the designer) would be a good fit for me. Therefore, I will not go into too much detail as to avoid spoilers!įor some reason, I had not heard too much about this game. One of the best things about the game is the story behind it. Also with my husband playing the second character. So far, I have played solo controlling two characters. If you play solo, you take control of a minimum of two characters to play.
