[Random Goblin]

I bought this game last week, and my wife and I love it. We've played it half a dozen times already.

No kidding though about the game being really hard, especially with solo play. i would imagine that although there are some balancing mechanics, in general more players = easier victory.

I'm a Mythos fan, but I had never played the original version of this game, so it's worth it above and beyond the nostalgia attraction.

There are a whole lot of pieces. I haven't found plastic bags necessary, though. All of the types of pieces are really different enough from each other in color, size, and shape, that it's not a problem to just dump them all in the box and fish out what you need when you need it.

I actually think fiddling with bags would be a little bit slower, if not exactly the same.
