This game is great, but it really isn't worth $60

 This game got all my friends into board games.  I got my DQ game for $38 on Ebay, but if that were not an option, I would have gladly payed the full $60 price for such a fun game.

Same here. I love my DQ.

How to calculate the overall value of a purchase:

Option A - Per Game

 

Every time you play the game is 1 valuable use of the product

1…60 plays

60…1 dollar(s) per game

 

120…600 plays

50…1 cent(s) per game

 

 

Option B - Per Year

 

Every year you own the game and could be playing it

1….6 Years

60…10 dollars per year

 

12…24 Years

5…2.50 dollars per year

 

$1 per game, or $10 per year are both insanely cheap compared to almost anything else you ever buy.

First, if you paid $60 for this game . . . well, you didn't do your homework. Second, I would pay $60 all day long for this game. Mind you, I'd love to have gotten 10+ heroes, 3 or 4 more monster types, and some more dice, but the game is fun, fun, fun, and that's what the purchase is all about.

Yeah the guy who said doing your homework is spot on, i am thinking of buying Descent and have downloaded the rules, watched vidieo reviews on you tube and chatted on the decent forum. and looked around the net for the cheapest most reliable seller 

I did the same before buying DQ, and all of my game purchases.

The only problem dungeon quest has is that out of the 330 cards the game plays best without half of them - yes i'm talking about the combat cards. I played the game with them when i first got it, then tried the game without and boy the game is so much better without the combat cards and a houserule to cater for the evade combart checks. I think even FFG learnt something there, they quicky put up the variant combat options on the website.

is it value for money - yes even throwing half the cards out !   should this game be expanded - definately

In the end, I bet I have statistically gotten every cents worth out of this game, and hits the gaming table a lot still even for being one of my first board game purchases. Easy to pick up and play and easy to put away.
