    Armello ain't perfect, but it's worth your time to experiment and see if you like it, and then you can spend as much or as little as you want to keep enjoying it.

    There are a few niggles here and there, but if you love your board games fantastical and polished, you're going to love Armello.

    Armello isn't the easiest board game to get to grips with but with a rich lore and deep strategic elements to enjoy, it's worth putting the time in.

    Armello plays like an American-style board game with loads of dice rolls and player conflict. It has some neat ideas, with asymmetric player powers and multiple paths to victory, adding long-term interest, all of which are explained in a very well-presented tutorial. My biggest problem with the game is that at the moment it seems quite difficult to arrange matches with reliable players. Mutual enjoyment relies on all players sticking to a code of honour that involves seeing the whole game out and not ganging up on a single player.

    A mediocre board game disguised by pretty videos and art.

    This game is incredibly random, there is no depth and no story, everything is    A mediocre board game disguised by pretty videos and art.

    This game is incredibly random, there is no depth and no story, everything is determined by random dice rolls, there are no strategic choices to be made.

    There are supposed to be various ways to win, but unless someone has a lot of blind luck, the game time will run out and whoever happens to have the highest Prestige value wins.

    You constantly have to wait for all your opponents and NPCs to take their turns and that takes a very long time.

    The supposed RPG elements are non-existent.

    The videos and artwork are very pretty but they don't make a good board game alone.    … Full Review »
