Wizkids – Tomb of Annihilation Board Game

WizKids’ Tomb of Annihilation Game designed by Kevin Wilson takes on a long history of D&D Adventure System Cooperative board games and makes some great additions.   First, I think this is the best of the series. If you haven’t played any of the other D&D Adventure System board games, then I think that this should be your first purchase. You can get the other ones and add them to expand your options by mixing heroes and monsters. You can also get the older Dungeon Command games to expand your game. The other things like tiles and cards can be difficult to fit, and there is some helpful information about combining the other games together on Board Game Geek: DnD Adventure System Guide. You should play through the Tomb of Annihilation. We found it to be a lot of fun, and easy to stop at the end of an adventure and pick up the next one.

First, I really liked being able to sit down and play a quick dungeon crawl game. It isn’t hard to teach someone how to play, and the system gets harder as you start adding higher level monsters and traps. This is a very large box with lots of miniatures and maps tiles. The standard game has miniatures that are single colors, but you can buy the premium edition, and the miniatures are fully painted. But the premium edition comes at twice the price.
