Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game!
Rules: -Play nicely with others here.
-Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
-Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

How is the Deep Rock Galactic game? Love the video game and the board game looked interesting but I never pulled the trigger.
We only have one session under our belt, but initial impressions were pretty good. I too love DRG, but I was sceptical that the boardgame would capture the feeling good enough, but I think they managed it. The rules are good enough, it's got a "light" complexity (warning: I play a lot of rule heavy board games so ymmv) Quality of minis are very good. The only thing I worry about is replay ability. Its got quite a few missions you can play, but it felt a tad shallow so I'm not sure if it can keep our attention for years..
Anyways, my 3 cents on it.. :D
Thanks for the input! Yeah I play a lot of very rule heavy games too so I would probably view it as light as well. Might have to put it on my ever growing list of games to buy!
