1st plays: This is a refined version of the Descent 2.0 system with a better theme. I really wanted to like Descent, but the hand of take-that cards always felt jarring, and the long turns caused it to drag a bit. Threaded actions and less gotcha's speed up the game and make for a positive experience. I do wish there were more Jedi/Sith though. 2nd plays: We played this multiple times in one night, and the campaign was interesting, each scenario was different, and not quite the frantic pace of Descent. It's still a race to complete objectives, but slightly less so, and still a very tight margin for error.

Only played with app as my group likes coop. Found the ranged attacks for the enemies to be finicky (move up, shoot, now move back).

The only reason I am keeping this is because I am so heavily invested in it, and I doubt I could get rid of it. It’s a cool idea, but the app is kind of anticlimactic and grindy. Clunky gameplay. If I had played it with more than 2 people, it may be better. 6.7 to 6
