Slugfest Games The Red Dragon Inn 3 Strategy Boxed Board Game Ages 13 & Up (SFG009)

Used it to up my original to a 5 player game. We had a great time with the new decks.

I initially passed over this versions for RDI4, but the unique decks make the game essential.

Prompt delivery! Very happy!

now can have more than normal amt of players

The four new characters in RDI3 are far more complex than those from RD1-2. Each involves either a second deck or a custom tracking sheet, with effects which change the way that character plays. However, I consider this a good thing! Lets face it, as much fun as RDI is, the characters can start to feel samey over time, and this expansion fixes that.

I love Red Dragon Inn, and I got this game because I wanted to be able to accomodate up to 12 players (instead of 4 for the original and 8 with RDI 2). However, we soon discovered that 12 players makes the game fall apart fast-- you spend ages waiting for it to be your turn, the game takes forever and in general everyone loses interest. I wouldnt play this again with more than 8 people. Also, the new characters had bizarre and complex mechanics that added additional confusion to an already hectic game. I played one of the new characters and she felt really underpowered compared to Fiona, for example. I will continue to play and love Red Dragon Inn, but I think this expansion is staying on the shelf.

So, Red Dragon Inn is a staple of my gaming group, and a wonderful drinking game. If you dont have any RDI, I would suggest starting with the second game, as that is a simpler entry, but the characters still have a lot of personality and variation.

The game is fun and I love playing it but the cards themselves are very cheap and the fronts and backs peel away.

This edition of the game was awesome. Everybody that played it, loved it.

Super fun to play! All my friends have enjoyed it!
