I love this game! I love co-ops. I love the theme. I love the slight amount of luck that it has. Great all around game. On loan

I really dig into the theme, but the QB issue has finally sucked some of my enjoyment out of the game. The second problem I have with it is that the setup and mechanics of the game, while complimenting the theme, ultimately are more tedious to the game than what I'd prefer. That said, I'll totally play this over Forbidden Desert (again, technically sound, but less interesting) or Forbidden Island. Like many coops, the problem space is limited once a solution is found. Pandemic sort of, but not entirely, avoids this with the multitude of variants at your disposal in the expansions (and I think both On The Brink and, less so, In The Lab are sort of required for that reason). Oddly enough, the Legacy game does avoid this as the basic premise changes in subtle ways so you don't see the entire problem space each game.

Traded for Risk 2210!! Bought it on a whim and have really enjoyed it. A quick, fun coop game that is challenging and has a great theme. Downgraded after 5 or 6 plays. It really loses its luster--it is way too obvious what each role is supposed to do, and I have had no desire to play this one since.
