Call to Adventure

• The Name of the Wind

A game that seems to be a little bit easy on the first glance. But with every new session I love it more and more. The details for playing (developing) my own destiny in an "appropriate" way are gripping. It is a lot of fun to think up the story of my character.

Seems kind of story making game with push-your-luck elements. Good amount of stuff and replay ability seems good, but no much personally interesting mechanics that appeal to me.

The artwork is so great and the story ideas are so interesting that... the game was a bit of a letdown. I wish they had upped the light role playing story creation elements of the game and downplayed the strategy elements. One of those games that could have been amazing. Fun to play once or twice, but not enough to own.

Light fun, and tossing the runes is a blast - beautiful card art as well. A fast playing game that plays as well with two as with four, and never gets too cut-throat. Winning can feel very luck heavy, between the common market flips and tossing runes, but that's part of the appeal as well - and going through your character's story at the end of the game is a highlight.

My copy has components quality issues such as very noticeable card color differences between some of the anti-hero cards and some minor card damages. Solved by using custom Call to Adventure sleeves. Quality of sleeves is also poor though with a lot of them having various defects.
