I play a lot of board games and was interested in this before I got it through the Humble Bundle, however sorely disappointed in it.

Couple of points. First, stick with the tutorial. I was ready to turn it off after the first 2 of the 4 to learn to play. That is not how you teach a board game. All makes sense after the 4th though.

Then, in my one game of it, I was trying to complete the stones victory but had to get across the map to get the last one, as both my quest and the stone were in a tile over that side. I couldn't last 2 turns to get close enough to achieving it without being killed and sent back to the starting tile. Even after powering up with +2 shields and swords I was still taking 7+ hits each turn, meaning I was never able to get close to completing my objective. Trying to teleport was an exercise in futility as every random spin got me everything but a teleport to the side I wanted to be on.

Ultimately it's a terrible board game, with much more in common with Munchkin than say terra Mystica.
