Retail has acrylic player tokens as well. Just starting to play the game, not using the timed element. May incorporate it in the future as I get better...or not ;-)
Nice review Mike. As soon as I heard about this I was interested in hearing your take. Having a copy of Vengeance, this makes me want to laminate some blank pouches and put them over the den boards and have a faster solo experience.
The game itself is fine and enjoyable..... IF you play this game without the timer. The timer on solo single handedly ruins the game. Even on Easy mode, 45 seconds is no where near enough time to roll dice, remember all your abilities, Mark stuff down, etc. You barely get to achieve anything and it's just not fun. Are you really saying that you are able to process all that stuff in 45 seconds, less on harder modes? Playing without a timer does improve things. In multiplayer, best played with only two. Four players means you are placing a lot of trust on players to get rules right and roll their dice properly, not to mention you don't interact at all other than people taking dice.
This is REALLY good review Mike. Also you are the best teacher of all the Dice Tower crew. Thank you.
My copy arrived yesterday. Looking forward to playing it!
Phew! Thanks Mike

Any chance we could get a Glen More II: Highland Games solo review?
Really looking forward to this one to fulfill. Hopefully really soon. Any chance of seeing for Solo Vengeance play during the Dilisio Factor?
It's definitely one for consideration on The DiLisio Factor.
Why are you considering a room with 2 grunts empty??
Well I am curious although unsure about the timer. Would love to try it someday.
I admit that my copy of Vengeance sits unplayed because of the setup/teardown/footprint. This might replace it one day
I just picked up the original. Which do you prefer Mike?
I actually address this at the end of the review, but it really depends on the type of experience I’m looking for. I’m keeping both in my collection.
Mike you missed your chance to say that this game in comparison to the original Vengeance is a "quicker picker upper" 😆
