Unstable Games - Casting Shadows: The Ice Storm Expansion - Designed to be Added to Your Casting Shadows Card Game

Love the game fun as all hell, worth the money and super good card game for any age although I think it is probably a 13+

This is literally a combination of DND and unstable unicorns.The game play has an easy flow, the mechanics are easy to follow and there are even expansions.Great for kids and adults who love to play board games.

I tried this game with a friend and a great addition from Unstable Games. They do have expansions to this game as well I have not tried yet. The base game is a fun turn based combat game with cute characters and great game play. Its a bit tough for first time players but once you learned how to play it can become really addicting and fun.

This is a easy to learn, super fun, very vibrant game, it's not expensive for the amount of stuff you can do and quality of everything that is included and the expansion is amazing.

We took this game on a long weekend trip with our four grandkids (12, 10, 9, 8). The game was set up on a table and in between other family activities, they kept returning to the game. They loved that it was similar to more advanced fantasy board games that their older cousins are always playing. The only problem was when one of the kids "never got a chance to win" (and that was the oldest child!!).

My family and I loved the original game and decided to add this to our collection it's a fun addition

I should begin this by saying that the vast majority of this review is from a perspective of a strategy-lover when it comes to game. The following will be my review of it outside of my issues with game design as it pertains to strategy.It is a very fun game. The only thing holding it back is that there really isn't enough content. It needs expansion to be a particularly re-playable game; specifically it needs more spells, and perhaps a way to play with more shadow companions throughout the game.The rest is my various complaints about how the board limits variable playstyles and simplifies the play of the game without actually being simple to play.I like the hex idea, it's very cool and works well with dealing with ranges of spells, but it is simply *too small.* At any point in the game, you are one hex (two if you're lucky) away from being blasted with spells, which is a gap easily closed by opponents. There is no positional strategy. This removes the possibility of having multiple optimal playstyles, which REALLY limits the amount of fun you can have playing the game, especially if you want to have fun outside of just playing to win. The most effective and seemingly only effective way to win is to get high-damage, or consistent, mid-damage spells as fast as possible, and then use them on your opponents whenever you can. I hate this, because whether you can even get either is very luck-dependent, and if one person gets a good spell early, there's no easy or cheap way to avoid being hit, outside of trying to give the person reasons why they shouldn't destroy you, which is not strategic ability, rather social ability, which does not really fit the genre of game, nor even the game itself. Thus, the game feels as though it was intended to be played on a larger board, one in which you could run away. In fact, I would almost recommend you figure out a way to play the game on a Catan board, as the size would lend itself much better to maneuvering outside of spell ranges and allowing for more variation in how the game plays out, which leads to a generally more fun game overall, because a game in which you can predict 90% of how it will play out is generally not that fun a game. (If you do do this, I would recommend buffing the damage of close range spells a little to help with balancing.)My only other issue with the game is that with the limited playstyles, the gameplan becomes to straightforward, while the actual rules of the game are anything but straightforward. With all the complexities of turns and all the pieces, you can actually become completely overwhelmed with options, despite knowing the exact most optimal move. It becomes frustrating to play in that regard sometimes.My overall opinion of the game is that it's a very good, fun base game, it just needs some adjustments and expansion to be one of my favorites of all time. Four stars.

Amazing game and real good service with the saler, it came faster than I expected and it was carefully packed and delivered

Excelente, completo y sin rayones o partes dañadas de la caja o en contenido interior, sin embargo está vez fue bastante el tiempos de plazo, supongo que fue por condiciones atmosfericas, así que bueno, está vez no hay problema

Compre este juego por algunas reviews de youtube, ya tuve la oportunidad de jugarlo con 3 amigos, el juego es completamente bueno, divertido, al principio es lento conocer el juego al 100% pero el reglamento es muy claro y te ayuda a poder iniciar sin mucho problema (esta 100% en ingles), lo recomiendo mucho :)

We enjoy playing board games and this has been a great addition to the collection!

I love the game and ordered it as soon as I saw the sale during Prime. Opened it today and the playing items/cards look damaged already. Not sure if it was a returned box and they've repackaged it but I know the quality is usually much much better. Kind of disappointed
