Played once and initially gave a 5.7. After playing Blood Rage recently, I have a more favorable opinion of this game and have raised it to a 5.9. It really isn't my type of game, but I like the alliances, the open upgrade card buying, and the strange blind bid for combat advantages. I also like the map more than Blood Rage.

Too many moving parts, and balance felt fragile rather than tight. There are definitely opportunities for clever play, but there are a ton of noob traps that punish inexperienced players. Also, taking godzilla hostage is silly. There are lots of cool abilities, cool monsters, and strong creatures that you can buy. And the player who ignores all of them and just buys VP will win. Don't see a need to play again, don't want to own, don't even want to be at the same table as people playing this.

First play was exactly as I hoped it would be, and I can't wait to dive into this experience again and again!
