"like retro gaming" and "prefer modern gaming" options got smashed together. every time I previewed before posting, the sentences allowed on one line got shorter and I was forced to edit to shorter sentences.
Oh well.

I mainly didn't back it because it isn't available to my country.

But looking back I kinda think they also failed in delivering the hype.
During the whole campaign they only made 7 of those news articles - those they did make were pretty good, but they could've done so much more with it.
There wasn't really a good (official) place for fans to come together and discuss/celebrate/comment. Twitter sux.
And the stuff that should really have been the highlights (miniatures and new heroes and spells) were just kinda "okay-ish".

I'm not even sad that I can't get this, as I think it's just "okay".
I probably would have bought it though if they had opened up for Europe... What were they thinking?

“Because the only way to expand HeroQuest is with more HeroQuest.” (But honey :wizard: I need the fourth set so we can play the proper version of Dark Company with 4 boards ...) 8-)
