Okay, since no one seems to be giving reports on it, here goes. 

My girlfriend and I have played it maybe six or seven times now. Don’t remember. 

It took like two playthroughs to get a solid grasp on the game and actually get into it (for comparison it took maybe four or five times with Quest before I didn’t have to check the book).

A couple normal games and a couple “advanced” plays. 

It really is a solid fucking game. I can see how getting the same cards over and over again would get stale eventually but switching between the advanced play and normal play (difference being advanced has “fiends” which are, more or less, cards that intentionally fuck up the other players and a couple other “item” cards) is more than enough to keep it fresh for now. They’re already planning an expansion for it so the monotony is clearly something that they’re aware of and trying to get ontop of. 

Also, for what it’s worth, don’t let the rules of it throw you off. It seemed super complex to me at first. Maybe it’s just because I had never really gotten into deckbuilding games before, maybe I’m just stupid. Dunno. Like, I said though, after like two games in, I didn’t need to book anymore and had it down. It’s the same as Quest for Shangri-La really. Once you’re in the game and actually playing it instead of looking at it, the rules come naturally. 

TLDR: It seems overwhelming at first but it’s easy to pick up and almost by design has replay value.

So far….. No. We literally just set it up and was reading through the directions to try it out and were confused as fuck. Gonna have to watch that “how to play” video on the website before we get any further.  

Ahahaha i set it up last night and in just staring at it….

Shit, gimme a few days to try and make a good explanation of how to play it. It’s rather hard to type out. I might try taking some step-by-step pics or even posting a video up or something. 

If their track record continues, I’ll get around to it loooong before Psychopathic does. I know that doesn’t help you out right now but in the mean time all I can do it is recommend trying to actually set up the cards and follow the rules one at a time without trying to get ahead of yourself. Like I said, it took a couple times playing it before I got the swing of it. 

So, yeah, expect pics or a video or something soon on how to play. Assuming no one beats me to it.

Mary passed out early (I do believe Gathering plague struck again) so I can either build a Vault in Fallout or take some pics to help understand this game. Since the IntotheEchoSide site doesn’t have a how-to, I’ll kill some time and take some pics. 

Keep in mind, I’m not 100% on how to upload pics on here so uh…don’t get your hopes up lol. 

If all works out, expect them within the next few hours.

Use photobucket, or something similar, snag the image urls from there and insert them into your post. Being able to upload images directly would be convenient, but as is, it’s not too hard. 

Also I’m pretty interested in seeing this.

Played the game with my wife for a couple hours tonight. Had quite a bit of fun. I ended up winning. For only the second time playing I believe we’re getting the hang of it. It obviously tired her out, she’s passed out and I’m sitting here drinking watching adult swim on Hulu

Ah I see, he’s into that Ancient Greek wrestling. That or he’s a kinky mofo. Either way you got yourself a keeper. If you can’t beat em join em. And if he makes you beat him just use lube. Nobody needs chaffing, especially the almighty randy. He might be the next jokers card

Yeah my wife suggested the advanced cards (fiend, I believe) luckily since I was drinking advance play was not implemented. Also, random shit, I met you at the village. What up homie?!

i added it to my cart on Hatchetgear, not to buy it, but to see what my quote would be for shipping and for me it was $11.62 and the only choice I have to choose from is Priority 2 day from USPS.  Could be due to me living in Lansing, Michigan and only 80 or so minutes away from where the item would be shipped out from, but my charge for shipping was not bad at all
