In this episode we review
Grimm, published by Fantasy Flight Games.
We give this a "3" on our rating scale:
1= If you are only going to buy 1 book, get this one.
3= If you are going to buy 3 books so you have a "main game" plus a fun pickup, this is the book for you
10= If you are going to get 10 books for a bit more variety, get this one
0= Don't buy it.
This game would be a ton of fun for a few one shots or to pick up when you're normal game is sidetracked for a couple of weeks. Very intesting concepts, great flavor, good production values-- a good book overall. The lack of clarity and that everything is written in text blocks (I mean everything- there is not a single formula or chart in the book that says "Attack = Scrap vs Defense -> Inflict Wounds") is insanely frustrating, but other than that, it's a good book.
