Mine arrived in Germany two days ago, too. Insert slightly dinged, everything else fine. Looking forward to give it a spin.

I know I am late, but I would love russian – because then my wife would finally have a game she can bring out herself without help from me 🙂

Meins ist noch nicht gekommen – ich hätte damals doch auf die Essen-Pickup-Variante gehen sollen beim Kickstarter …

On Spieleschmiede they wrote that the base boxes are already there, but they were waiting for the additional minis for the kickstarter stuff and will ship after they arrive.

I had similar problems with tne getman first adventure pack that cane in the box – backs colored notably different. Add to that the türeally bad translation errors on some cards and I don’t think I will go for further adventure packs for this one. Too bad, the game play itself is a nice and relaxing experience, but that ends when you have to resort to digging for card meanings on the internet, because the german version makes no sense …

Even if those 3 abilities to choose from are total duds, you still get an additional dice from your level up and that means you have one more dice to turn into either shield or heroic.

Well, this would be exceptionally cool, especially Heidelberger has a good track record with regards to german editions. Would be exceptionally sad for my wallet, though 😉

the camps have -exp because you can gain exposure during adventuring in a multitude of ways and want to get rid of them before battles.

so far only one play, but man that play system is smooth – during third battle I didn’t have to look at the rules any more. Ok, the tentacle monster destroyed my unstable togue and frustrated ranger, but the whole kerfuffle was a load…

I collected my copy yesterday, too, but still have to play it – need some spare time, but they were out of that at the booth 😉

wow, just had my first play. So smooth! Even my crappy Nexus 7 2012 with its bad and slow memory can handle it! 😀

I’m in a worse boat: the only device where it is compatible is at home (and of course I already remote installed it), but I am at work and I bet when I get home, it is beyond the 5k installs! 😥

Bin zwar nicht der Reviewer, spiele aber sowohl Thunderstone als auch SF:C. Von der Spielstruktur her würde ich einen deutlichen Unterschied zum Dominion-Lager sehen, allein schon durch den zufälligen Schwarzmarkt. Da ist CF deutlich näher an Ascension oder Star Realms dran. Strategische Langzeitplanung kann man bei CF knicken, dafür kommen zu viele Zufallsevents (sowohl die ausliegenden Schwarzmarktkarten als auch die Crossfire Events und die Obstacles).

Insgesamt ist damit CF sehr viel stärker taktisch ausgelegt. Dazu kommt, dass der zentrale Mechanismus – die Schadenszuteilung auf Hindernisse – ein klassisches Optimierungsproblem ist. Und bedingt durch die recht heftigen Hindernisse ein Optimierungsproblem, das nicht ein Spieler alleine lösen kann, da ist definitiv gemeinsames Rundenplanen notwendig, wenn man eine Chance haben will. Auch das weicht stark von Thunderstone und Dominion ab.

well, not my most favorite game ever, but high on the list for my wife, so this one will be probably be an insta-buy for me as soon as it is translated to german like UF.

Hmm, the last time it showed up I more or less waltzed right over it. It is only really bad if the two crossfire cards are bad – it on itself doesn’t do much. And I didn’t really lose because of One Hot Minute, but because of missplay…

I gave my elf “shopping agent” because she is my mage and really wants a raised chance for those sweet spells. and my decker dwarf got “fundamentals”, because he is doing double duty as the face.

wasn’t “in training” the one with larger hand size? I think especially for an elf mage that could be great. and it is really nice at the start to have more cards to take out early obtacles so you make it into the next scene with a cro…

@kerstin: oh, great, looks like we will need german erratas to the german translations of the errataed english cards 😉
