As soon as I opened the rulebook and didn't see an index, I knew KoA was going to say something. 😁 A lot of people are unhappy with the rulebook, and I think having an index would have fixed that. We were asking the entire downtime to have them share the rulebook so we could review/feedback it. I think they really screwed up with that. Their excuse was "spoilers" which I did not see any spoilers in that rulebook that they didn't show in the Tabletopia. Maybe the reavers. 🤷♂️ I did like the tutorial scenarios to help dive in and understand. Loved the tutorial card packs. Love the play mat over the board

You should really change your name to King of Mimimimi Having the tutorial integrated into the rulebook makes a lot of sense as this allows you to just dive into the game, learning the rules for the various stages as you go. And you obviously haven't heard of scenario rules. No point in adding rules that are only relevant for a specific adventure to the main rulebook. You play Warhammer 40K, how is this different from Codices with special rules for specific armies? The cardboard elements are perfectly fine as they are, no point in making them thicker and heavier. The box is a beast already. As for warping, that's usually due to moisture. The time between shrink-wrapping the sets to delivery is long as is the journey of the boxes. Humidity is pretty unpredictable. Luckily it's also easily rectified by just spraying a wee mist of water on the components and putting them under pressure. The huge box with the ton of minis will help. ;)

I've got the retail core, and run through it a bit. The rules do NOT overlap. So you have to learn the rules in three sections. The tutorials teach you combat and exploration, then there are details, and campaign rules are in the second book. This really does make the rules a mess. I have seen worse. Fortunately, there aren't very many extra rules in the other sections that overlap with combat and exploration. It does make it a 2 read kind of thing---and you almost might want to start with the campaign book to figure out what the hell you are doing in the first place. Then....there are SO many graphic cardinal sins on the cards. Skill card icons match their color to the player color, but the rulebook shows them all in black. That's a total epic travesty, but worse is the size of those icons on the small cards. They are at the "crap, let me grab my jeweler's loup" tiny. With all of that, it might be Steamforge's best game. There is a lot of clever hiding in the wrecked boxcars.

Sone of it is kinda too big for small tiles, which is too bad. And the minis can’t stand on some of it as well as they might need to. But I’m not disappointed in my purchase, at least.

Love this game but hate the board. It’s way too big, is blurry and has two much wasted space on it. Probably the worst board I’ve seen in a game. Wish I didn’t need it. There’s couple other minor annoyance’s like the character cards not sitting deep enough into the player board so they move around. No space to put runes under weapons on the side of the player board which is where the rulebook tells you they go. Too many tiles are the same and the zones aren’t always obvious. A corridor card doesn’t match the tile, it’s mirrored. Overall love the game as it flows quickly and combat is nice and easy. I don’t feel like I’m bogged down too long in rooms. I’m currently at the beginning of chapter 3.
