Seriously disappointed with this. £40 for a ridiculously sized box and very little content. Have played 4 times and day and night make it slower but can’t work out why. Turns the game into an anti-social solo play as you no longer bother with what others are doing. Totem cards - just not sure. Play with them and everything is easier to buy, fertile soils become pointless and spoiling just isn’t necessary anymore so the mana storm tokens become a waste of time. I’d recommend not wasting money on this. And this is from a gaming group that played this game over 50 times last year. It was our favourite game. Now I’m stuck with a massive box and £40 worse off.

Took the ever expanding and absolutely amazing game Mystic Vale and made it easy to put limits in to keep the game fresh yet focused enough to truly allow different play styles to shine

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.
