It seems a bit expensive for a board game. Is it worth the high price?

As a previous answerer stated, if you have a few friends (at least 2) that enjoy deduction, adrenaline, and/or the story of Jack the Ripper, then this game is certainly worth the price. I paid more than double the current price and I don't regret the purchase. I want to note that this game will take about 1.5-2 hours depending on player familiarity with the game. We have needed to let it sit overnight once but we normally finish it in the same night.

In truth this is a hobby game. That means you expect to play it over several nights and enjoy playing board games. It is quite fun, and I think it is worth it, but I have more opertunities to play it than an average person. If you have a group of friends who hang out regularly and enjoy tension and hard thinking then buy it. If not, this might not be a good purchase.

If you enjoy strategy board games, then this is a great one. I don't get to play games as often as I'd like, but I thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay in WhiteChapel. Ideally it is for a group of 4 or 5. Well worth the price, although if it was a bit cheaper that never hurts!

Sure. However, its a pretty advanced game and it takes a long time to finish. Keeping that in mind, its a great game!

My game came with 6 instruction booklets, each a different language. The components themselves are only imagery. So you only need the instruction booklet. I think you should be fine. If anything you can go to boardgamegeek.com and get the instructions in English :)

I'm not familiar with the board game version, but electronic is very portable. For a board game I'd recommend Imaginiff, my family loves it and we often play several rounds because it's so much fun and keeps us laughing for hours.

Yes. If you are thinking about this game just get it. It's a blast! You can't go wrong with the price.

The learning curve is quite steep. I recommend thoroughly reading the instructions before playing and also suggest watching playthroughs and reviews on youtube (it helped me quite a bit). You do have to read cards throughout gameplay as well as refer to the rules quite a bit but don't let that deter you. The game is very enjoyable and once you read the rules, set up the game, and play through the first game they set up in the rulebook, it's pretty easy to catch on. The first setup might seem like a bear but it's worth it.

It's a similar but more complex version of catan. If you love catan you will love having some new variations to mix in with your base game.

This game is not really a "board" game, but a "card" game. You can buy a version of this game (Munchkin Deluxe) that does include a board, but all it really does is keep track of your levels, which we do with paper. We have both versions of the game. You can also buy many different "versions" of this game such as the original Munchkin or "Pathfinders", "Conan" etc and all of them can be intermingled to make a bigger game. There are also "booster" packs which have a variety of cards to add to your decks. We have a lot of different versions and they are all a lot of fun and every time you play, it's different, depending on the hand you're dealt etc. This game is not really a "board" game, but a "card" game.

I've never played Ticket, so I can't compare to that, but I would say it's on the same level as Catan. You are playing your own game in a way but some of the choices you make affect the other players and you can trade cards with them. My whole family (11, 13 and 25 yo nephew) have really enjoyed it.

Well... http://www.thenaturalabode.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product;_Code=3363 plus labor plus shipping of the raw materialIts a luxury item, obviously not intended to be a "reasonable price" for people who just want something to hold their Catan board together. For that go here: Official Settlers of Catan Board - Plastic 5-6/3-4 Player

I have played it many times with 2 players. It is a little less cut throat and a little more strategic because the board changes a lot less with just two players in between your turn. I would recomend it as a 2 player game.

There are symbols and train cars that are different on the cards but I think the playing board with trains on it would be frustrating. We would not recommend it...sorry because it is such a great game we are playing it right now.

It's really an easy game to learn. And it's a lot of fun. I like the bigger one. It's easier to see. If you do get one you will enjoy it. It is for 2 to 4 players.Ron

Yes it's worth buying. It's fun and enjoyable while at the same time it is difficult staying alive as you move further .into the campaign .

If you get Intrigue you get a whole second set of treasure and Victory cards, so you would never run out, no matter how many play. The only limitation to players is really time the game takes and number of action card stacks available to buy. You can play with five or even six with just the basic game, but it tends to slow down waiting for the others, so you're better off to split tables. Even with the basic game you have plenty of action cards to provide a full game at two tables. If you'd rather play with six at one table, add an extra stack of action cards so they don't run out too soon. With an expansion you're golden for maybe four tables without cramping their style. I picture four tables, and when they all finish a game, they each pass a couple of stacks to the next table. Now THAT would be interesting. The game comes with enough action cards to provide a lot of variation, and each expansion (except Cornucopia and Alchemy) add at least another 25 so the options are endless. I just advise that for beginning players you start with one stack of cards costing 2 copper, two stacks costing 3, 3 stacks costing 4 and 5 each, and one stack costing 6. Then when you get good at it, you can go for random selection. I wish I could choose between expansions but each has a different focus, and adds an interesting twist.

You could potentially get away with buying the expansions. I would buy the base deck for more options though. I have the base, plus two expansions, and want to buy more.

It comes with a board with levels 1-10. And pieces that represent your character on the board. That's about it, you're just paying for a game board and some game pieces. I think it's worth it, though.
