300 games in and I've become a little jaded and not many games nowadays are catching my attention. I had heard of Wildlands in passing but dismissed it quite quickly as it looked a bit too nerdy for us with all its orcs and elve tropes and I knew my wife wouldn't be interested in a fighting fantasy game. I recently picked this up in a trade along with another game that I actually wanted. Due to the simple ruleset and lovely components, I thought what the heck lets give it a go. Wow, what a game! Its the first game in a long while that's actually had me thinking about it and wanting to play again. Even my wife has asked to play it again! Even more so my 14-year-old has asked to play it again. So much fun. Quick to learn and set up. Gorgeous components and art. The fantasy theme has a very cool and fun side to it which makes it more accessible. We all feel in love with this game for its ease of play, short playtime and fantastic decision making. The only thing not making this a ten are the minis that whilst great quality minis, but just too small

The clean rules, quick play time and start of the game are the game's strongest assets--and those keep the game from being rated lower. There are some nice moments when a player interrupts and goes for a kill, especially if that player reveals a hidden character. Once everyone is revealed, the game lacks surprises and loses much of its charm. Further, combat is unexciting and lacks punch. The hand management should bring an interesting wrinkle to the game, but it just feels a bit constraining in practice. The asymmetry of the factions is, at best, bland. Overall, Wildlands decidedly lacks the "wild" part.

Very quick game even the first game was under an hour. Lots of fun, but light. Not complaining about this at all. Great components and fun for a quick game that will leave you wanting more plays.
