Review on Introducing the Powerful Alderac Entertainment Group AEG 7024AEG - Unleash Your Gaming Potential by Bob Novitsky

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ruby Race is fast and fun

If you want to throw something for half an hour, something nice and easy to play, you can do worse than Istanbul: The Dice Game. If your group can roll the dice and draw cards, you're done. It takes 5 minutes to learn the rules and the components are high quality with beautiful graphics. If depth is what you're looking for, then honestly there's not much to say here, and the luck factor can be significant if that bothers you. Even though I haven't played Istanbul, the game this one is based on, I heard that if you like this game you will be disappointed with its simplified version. But I like this game very much. Its lightweight nature means you can play it while you speak. And its structure is so compact that you can play at a small table in a bar or brewpub. What we do. Frequently.
