It's more than a bit surprising that a mass-market roll and move title can capture the joy of hobby gaming the way that "Buffy" does. But there it is, a game with team play, variable player powers, the works in a pulp package. A keeper for sure, if you can find a copy.

I LOVE this game. Running around in Sunnydale trying to find the items that you need in order to defeat the "Big Bad". Fighting, rolling handfuls of colorful dice with stakes and bites on them, players cursing across the table at each other. What could be better? Can be played one on one, or players can work cooperatively as the "Scooby Gang". This is an older game by (no-way!) Hasbro, so no wooden pieces and such, but nonetheless the board and character pieces are beautiful. Overall, this is a surprisingly fun and well thought out game. Fun for everybody, but a special treat for fans of the show. Just be careful playing this game with Ubarose because she's likely to accidentally kick someone in the head while acting out the last turns sequence of events!

Good, but not great for spastic nieces

While my five nieces were in town for the week of July 4 I pulled out Buffy: The Vampire Slayer to play with them as they all really like Buffy. It was a disaster, none of them had the attention span to listen to the rules (they're 5-12 years old), fought with each other over who got to be which character and overall it was a bad decision. So my sister-in-law pulled out Yahtzee instead, that seemed to go over well.
But for the rest of us, it's not a bad little adventure game.

Introduced to me by none other than THE Ubarose. The one game I've played was amazing. Such a fun game. Sure people are impressed with it even moreso because it's a licensed, mass market game and it DOESNT suck, but by regular board game criteria, this one's a winner. Great special specific powers and card play with scenarios (4 I think?). I loved this one and I've never really seen more than an episode. I'll need to play it again to put it up higher, but I see it as potentially a solid 5.
