Great game, very playable right out of the box. The minis are beautiful, easy to assemble and fun to handle. The rules are well put together, easy to understand and remember, and are fun to play. The rules make sense with just enough "crunch" for well played strategies to be satisfying, but too crunchy to be Warhammer 40,000-heavy. The artwork is great, the cards and components are well made. A bonus: once assembled, everything fits back in the box for storage! My only gripe with this game is this: there's barely enough dice to play comfortably. Aside from that, this is a great, great box.
