I really dislike these boxes that comes with new gameplay but you're mostly just paying for the box. It's a lovely box, but it doesn't justify the price. Put the original game in a decent enough box where you can stack the cards properly according to their size and you wouldn't have had to upgrade to a box like this for years.

Mostly just a large empty box with some dividers that makes storing everything together much easier. The 5-6 player mode is wholly unnecessary and is something we'll never play with. The only game-related content here we'd actually use are the new totems. As far as value goes, it's a pretty awful deal, but we managed to get it for a half-decent price when a store was clearing it out.

So this box is a pretty mixed bag, but overall very positive. The box itself is great and almost a necessity for players who have been collecting the game up to this point. It is attractive and holds everything nicely. Unfortunately the rest is really a mixed bag. The night and day system is probably the best way to make an attempt to play a six player game of this, but really the proper way to do that is just don't. If you really must play with 6 players facing off, just have 2 x 3 player games and then have the top 2 players play a second game for the championship and the remaining 4 face off for 3rd place. It will be far less aggravating and probably faster too. The conclaves I can take or leave, mostly leave to be honest. I really like the idea behind selecting a few of them to pare down the now massive amount of cards the game has and set a theme for the match. But on the other hand, Mystic Vale has a substantial setup and teardown (Ye gods, the teardown!) time as it is, so I rarely bother. I almost always gravitate to playing these sorts of games in "epic" mode anyhow, but your personal mileage may vary on this one. Overall, worth it as a for a storage solution for collectors, otherwise a pass.
