Highlights
Quality

Best fix for not is my elegoo printer to fix it but love the game
It’s a very random game, hours of gameplay can be completely reset with a death, making coming back impossible, etc.

Price
Overall it's a fantastic game and well worth the cost.
So it keeps the base game price a bit high, even though the cards quality is not up to par with its price.
Shipping
Fast, well packed and true to the post.
Amazon did me a solid and delivered this weeks before anyone else gets their paws on it.
Competitiveness
To make it simpler, this game is like d&d, and monopoly had a kid.
Note that 5th edition standard rule is a bit different, but it's not a big deal.

It doesn’t overstay its welcome for those who find the general gameplay too repetitive and simple
