Yeah, it's actually pretty fun. I'm not actually much of a board gamer myself so I probably wouldn't buy it, but it's quite a long game and really atmospheric. It's complicated enough there's a lot of strategy but once you get the turn sequence down it's pretty easy to remember the sequences and it even though we've only played twice we weren't constantly consulting the rulebook (though one of the players had READ the rulebook thoroughly because he is a big board game fan).
