So I've been eyeing this game for a while before I bought it and let's just say I'm so glad I got it while it was on sale. Not because it wasn't worth the price oh no no! Because of humble bundle I was able to donate to a good cause AND get an amazing game that's worth way more than what they're charging to be honest.

A good thing to keep in mind is this game is like a box of 100 games. Many of which I've been able to play over and over with the fun increasing over time rather than dying down like old games. If you're bored of a game or would rather play something else, just select a new board game, take a little time to learn it and boom!

Pros:
  • Replayability is unrivaled
  • HUGE variety
  • Most part decent community
  • Active community
  • VERY modable!


Cons:

There's only 3 cons for me and I'd rather explain them then list them:

Playing during off hours: Playing TTS while the USA is asleep is a little more difficult to have players join your game. I've noticed the community goes down 2/3s during the late/really early hours of the night but if you have a 2-3 player game that's decently popular, it's not really a big deal.

Playing a board game you want to play: Now this is kind of a small issue since everybody has different game style tastes. As for me, wanting to play long strategy and war games, unless you have friends, it's a bit hard to find people that: 1. won't leave mid way 2. won't quit while you're explaining.

You always haft to go into a game expecting people don't know how to play which bugs me but hey, you get around it.

The ADD stricken kids or small part of the community: There's a good chance you'll run into the younger audience which is fine in some cases, hell, I've ran into a 13 year old more mannered than a 21 year old here. HOWEVER, you'll run into some who will fidget with pieces, rush things, and even flip the table before they leave. (All good though as you're able to rewind gameplay GOD BLESS) It's just annoying at times but like I said, this doesn't happen that often.

Also, some people either will join and sit there trying to mess with your players or try to ruin the board by throwing pieces. Simply just kick them and everything will be fine! Like I said, there's a rewind function AND a blacklist so you can keep people off your servers :)


All in all, this game is REALLY amazing and is awesome if you have a group of friends or you're bored and need something new to play.
