With James’ new arrival of Descent, the evening was decided with James, Charlie, Kris, Tony and Ted

Descent

Fantasy Flight’s version of Doom gone to the dungeon. This one is very similar to Doom and will appeal to those players who prefer that genre. To me, it was too similar to need to own both games. There are also a few new things in the game from Doom that may appeal to some.

First, money. You collect money for killing things and finding treasure. With this you can “beam” back to town to buy more powerful things. In our game, this was really not necessary as we were not in a campaign and were doing ok.

Second, surge. There are tear drops which give you extra effort....move farther and such.

Third, evil tokens. These tokens are money for the evil player. Playing cards cost money now and you need to manage your hand based on you money.

Treasure. Let you find things as you progress.

There may be other differences but, these are the ones that I recall up front. We had a good time but the game was very long running at around 4 hours.

Klunker

We closed the night with a quick game of Klunker. Tony proved to be the best trader as I recall.
