   Feels like McClane and the terrorists are playing to entirely separate games a lot of times, rules a bit unclear. Ok game but wouldn't be in a rush to play again.

   not sure about this one. Seems a little bit on rails and the McClane character might be a bit OP? Not fair to judge after only one play though so will revisit this if it gets a few more.

   Heavily scripted -- meaning each act has a bunch of objectives that force you to do moments from the movie in order. That heavily limits the replay value. Tons of fiddly rules each act. Also SUPER gamey. Killing Hans means pushing him off the ledge, and you can't kill him by shooting or punching alone. But every time you shoot or punch him, you can move him one space closer to the ledge?! It's elevated above unplayability by two things: the thief action selection mechanism, which leads to some humorous moments of reading your fellow thieves' minds; and also the clever way in which the board expands, and each act has different hazards/obstacles to dodge bullets etc. The lock mechanism is not bad too, once you figure it out Only recommended for big fans of the movie. Casual game groups will need at least one player who is experienced w/. modern boardgames to teach the fiddly rules.
