Dungeons & Dragons Wizards of The Coast Dungeon Mayhem: Battle for Baldur’S Gate (C76940000), Black

One has to have played the old Baldurs Gate computer game to know why its awesome to have a Minsc deck for Dungeon Mayhem, and why it was absolutely mandatory that his highest damage card be called GO FOR THE EYES, BOO! But anyone can enjoy playing these two add-on characters for the game: Jaheira, the shape-shifting druid, and Minsc, the slightly addled ranger, both from Baldurs Gate. Minsc, other than the nostalgic humor of his cards with their obligatory references to his beloved hamster, Boo, is a pretty basic mix of attacks, heals and shields, with the added ability of forcing everyone to swap hit point totals. Jaheira, on the other hand, introduces a whole new play style with the addition of two forms: bear (heals) and wolf (attacks). Jaheiras deck can leave you a bit stymied if none of your form cards come up early, in that you can find yourself with a handful of cards that would benefit from a shape you cant take yet, and therefore the bonus effects are wasted. But thats true of any deck building type game, where a bad draw is a bad draw, regardless of the details. In fact, my last time playing Minsc, I was forced to first burn three heal cards when I didnt have any damage, and then -- worse -- had to swap hitpoints with someone who had 6 HP while I was at full health, thanks to unfortunate timing of a lightning bolt card (forcing me to play the last card in my hand, which was the switch HP card). While fun, my kids have mostly gravitated back to the original four characters, as after about 10 games, none of us have managed to win with the new decks. That may be a matter of luck more than play balance, or even more likely in this game where you choose your target attack by attack, the players of these decks probably got targeted for early annihilation because the other players were worried about what the new powers might do.

Excellent new characters with fun abilities. It adds more replay-ability to the game.
