Customer Rating:      Summary: kids just love it - ages 5-17 Comment: its the one game that the younger and older kids can play together. New players can pick it up quickly. Lots of fun
Customer Rating:      Summary: This game really makes your brain work! Comment: The order of the stick is a great family game. You will enjoy hours of fun.Even if your not the "group" game playing type you should give it a try!
Customer Rating:      Summary: fun if you like the comic Comment: The game feels quite straightforward to play after reading the introduction comic, but there are a lot of issues that become unclear as you play the game. The full rulebook + errata does not always make it easy to find the answer to your questions, but so far all the answers have been there.
For the reviewer that couldn't get to the last level of the dungeon, players can keep meeting monsters as long as they end their movement in an empty room, so one can keep getting loot as long as no one is hoarding the loot, and one can keep trading loot back and forth for help. Further the help bonuses stack, so it's possible (and even automatic) to take out very high level enemies.
The poor durability score is due to the plastic holder in the box being already cracked right after unwrapping it. It holds everything in place well, but I don't see how it could have broken in transport.
As a big fan of the comic strip, I enjoy the game a lot, although I see the problems with the rules and gameplay.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Order of the Stick Adventure Game The Dungeon of Durokan Comment: My 16 year old and a bunch of his friends think the game is a riot and have played it for 6 or 7 hours at a time. I've played it for an hour or so a couple of times with them and though that's not enough time to make any headway in the game, I can understand why these kids find it so funny. The numerous rules are simple to remember - all you do is go from room to room or different floors to fight monsters, plus the cards have wacky, but clean humor.

Customer Rating:      Summary: Fun, Funny, and Well Designed! Comment: I've played this a few times now and have had a blast each time! The quick rules worked fine for us the first time, and as questions came up, we read more. It's definitely more involved then your average board game, but if you like strategy games, you're probably going to like this! I'd call it a blend of Talisman and Munchkin.
I love how different the characters are for game play, and that each time you play you'll have a very different experience.
Definitely helps if you like the comic, but I even played with 2 13-year-olds who had never heard of the comic or D&D and they vowed to save their allowance to buy their own copy!
Great game! Highly recommended!

You choose which monsters other players will face in battle, but watch out, the monsters may band together and turn the tables on you. Trade unearthed loot with other players for cooperative play - or stab them in the back and run off with theirs. This game includes: 6 Shtick Decks (120 cards) 1 Battle Deck (158 cards) 1 Loot/Trap Deck (124 cards) 1 Dungeon Deck (54 cards) 10 Xykon Battle Cards 8 Xykon Lair Rooms 8 Stairs Cards 1 Dungeon Entrance Card 6 Character Cards 6 Character Move cards Are you still reading this?! 6 Quick Reference Cards 6 Wound Tokens 2 12-sided dice 32-page full-color rules 8-page full-color comic! 1 big box to fit it all in Why just read about foolish and incompetent adventurers when you can be one yourself? Dive head first into the world of the inexplicably popular fantasy gaming webcomic. Take on the role of one of the six daring adventurers as you explore each room of the mysterious Dungeon of Dorukan in this hilarious satire of the fantasy genre. But beware, for the evil undead sorceror Xykon awaits you at the bottom of the dungeon, and he has nothing better to do than focus on wiping the floor with your sorry butt.
