1. I ordered the game from Amazon, but only because my local game store did not have it in stock. Bonus, I saved some cash. I do suggest supporting you local game shop whenever possible, especially if they are like mine and stay open late everyday and allow anyone to hang out after hours in a play room stocked with games, tables, chairs, and a soda machine. Anyway, here is your exciting cutting of the box! Notice the good use to which I put my benchmade knife.
2. The King is looking at you. His body language says go fuck yourself, but his eyes say, no really, go fuck yourself.
3. Parts are nicely packed into the box and all the cardboard pieces need to be punched out. It wouldn't be French if it wasn't tedious. (Come on! You knew I would have to throw some sort of insult in there)
4. Punching out the pieces. They come out easily and I never once had the feeling of "Oh shit I just paid x dollars for this game and I just ruined this piece with a giant running tear across it!" They are nice and solid.
5. The board. Folds up nicely. This box wont take up your whole closet or trunk *cough* Alhambra Big Box (you weren't kidding, that is one giant fucking box) *cough*
6. A million pieces to take out of 1 bag and sort into additional bags. The good news, they provide the bags. The bad news, they were too lazy to pre-bag them for you. It's almost as though they want you to get carpal tunnel syndrome trying to sort all them small pieces.
7. Packs up quick. Fits easily. I don't foresee the need for any sort of organizer. This game is well suited for the bags and box it comes in.
Well that's it for the unboxing. Hopefully I will have a play through up for you shortly. Until then, El Zilcho out.
Cheers,
