Dwellings of Eldervale 2nd Edition: Standard

Epic board game

Dwellings is a fantastic board game. It's got worker placement, tableau building, epic battles with monsters and other players, and a good story. I thoroughly enjoy playing it. My only complaint is that they no longer have the Deluxe components available for purchase. But if you don't mind playing with the card board pieces, then it's all good.

Excellent Solo Game

I was seeking a good solo game, and this certainly fits the bill. The rulebook, although comprehensive, doesn’t always make it easy to find what you need and I needed to find many things my first few play throughs. It needs a complete icon key and I’d like to see key points make easier to locate. I found scoring to be confusing with more explanation required. Fortunately, some good reviews and online play throughs helped, as did BGG. Still, once you play it two or three times, it all starts to come together. It’s a beautiful game, incredibly well organized and easy to set up, and now I’m interested in the legendary addition. I’m sorry I didn’t discover it sooner.
