I love this game. It's really what got me into table top games. I've got a lot of the sets. It is very fun.
However, this game will take longer than you think. Be prepared for that, don't start it late if people aren't going to want to stay to finish. My friends learned that the hard way. I was so pissed that they wanted to end the game early that I banned the game and we didn't play for over a year. I know how that makes me sound but we take this seriously at my house.
