Choosing the right path and using your cards to your advantage also plays a huge roll into winning or losing. I'm constantly checking on the other players stats and inventory to think of who I need to focus on, who I need to hurt, who I need to cripple to work it to my advantage.
   
   Stating there are no various ways to win and needing blind luck is simply untrue. Its a game of strategy more than luck so it requires some thought. Just last night, I decided I would try to win by getting the 4 healing stones to cure the King of Rot. I had them all with 5 days left to spare and literally missed my mark by 1 move. 1 move!! I made it inside the castle on the final evening with no moves left only to have the Rabbit climb the back wall and Kill the King just as dawn was about to break.
   
   I've seen time run out and games end by prestige leaders and I've also seen the the King slain in battle. I have yet to see the King healed with the 4 stones but I was right there and I'll keep trying until I do it.
   
   This game isn't just nice artwork and dice rolling. There is definitely a lot of thought that goes into winning and losing. Don't just play cards to play cards. Think about why you are using those cards and when to use them.
   
   I haven't played Multiplayer yet so maybe waiting for other players to make their moves takes a bit longer than CPU games...I don't know yet. Hopefully there is a timer of 2-3 minutes so people aren't waiting for Joe Shmoe to heat up his pizza or finish cutting the lawn. But overall, I gave this a 10 rating because I like original titles like this. And a game that has strategy, cards, dice, great artwork and strong replay value is always a nice recipe for success and fun. If you haven't picked up Armello yet, I strongly urge you to do so. You can't go wrong for $20 bucks. I didn't get mine for $13.99 even though I'm a PSPlus member. Hmm..... Anyway, THINK and ENJOY"… Expand

   Just bought the game last night after it was discussed on the co-optional podcast, I got a discount on PS+ which put the game at about 11Just bought the game last night after it was discussed on the co-optional podcast, I got a discount on PS+ which put the game at about 11 pound, I have to say for the money this is a great little game! I have played it for about 8 hours straight now... The game starts with a nice prologue/tutorial which lets you play as 4 characters and learn the different mechanics and play styles, after that it's up to you how you want to play. There are 8 characters in total with varying stats and ability's, along with the cards, king decree's and the 3 ways to win you are guaranteed a different game each time. The game requires strategy and using the cards you are dealt efficiently as well as a little luck (the RNG can be a bit brutal in certain games)
   
   I recommend this game highly for the price and the re-playability, the multiplayer works well but takes a while to find a match I have found...I've actually typed this while waiting...… Expand

   About as fun to play as watching paint dry
   Now don’t get me wrong, Armello is a great strategy board game with many layers to make this game potentially insanely addictive, but it’s problem is it’s pacing.
   There are 4 heroes on the board at a time, now not only are there 4 heroes, there is a king, 3 guards and sometimes multiple banes.. and you have to sit through all of the these characters turns and it becomes dreadfully boring quickly.
   To be fair, heroes can play cards on each other at any time and the king makes decrees but an optional fast forward button absolutely needs to be patched into this game at least in single player, with a force pause when a character plays a card that affects you, there really is no point in waiting for what feels like an eternity to go again, there is already a tab that allows you to check the current stats of the other 3 heroes you are competing against.
   Other than the dreadfully slow paced gameplay, Armello is a wonderful game.
   Every character has their own bonus perks and starts out each game with a mission that they can
   go towards for cards, companions, gold, and prestige to help further their odds of winning this chance based strategy game. After you’ve completed a mission, you’re then given a choice of the mission you want to go for next, but these missions are completely optional, there are tons of strategies that can be used to win the game.
   You can use your gold to activate combat and trickery cards, and can use your magic to activate magic cards.
   You are allowed to draw cards every turn assuming you have less than 4 cards available to play
   If you don’t want a certain card you can burn it in battle for a guaranteed attack or a guaranteed shield
   or really to just free your hand for hopefully a better draw.
   Combat cards will boost your combat skills,
   Trickery and magic cards can be used either on individual heroes or effect a section of the board.
   These hurdles can hinder the other heroes in their quest, which is a good thing because you can also gain gold and prestige by killing other heroes, by claiming villages on the board, by killing banes, or exploring ruins.
   By being the character with the highest prestige, you get to choose the decree the king makes, this decree can effect the entire board or just a few, which does include you
   If the king dies by the rot before a character can defeat him, you will also win the game.
   The rot can be a good or a bad thing depending on your strategy.
   You get the rot by playing cards or losing a battle against banes, if you get up to 5 bane your character becomes corrupted, and like the king, every dawn you lose 1 health, but by defeating other character you gain 1 health. And dying isn’t all too bad here in armello,
   if you die you aren’t out of the game, you just go back to your starting space.
   To win with the rot, you simply get your rot higher than the kings is, you attack the kingdom and defeat him in battle.
   You can also just straight up attack the king to win or collect all 4 spirit stone to cure him.
   I really love the game of armello, I want to pour hours and hours into this board game
   But I feel like it doesn’t respect my time enough and in the current state it’s in I just can’t
   For being a game, you do a lot more waiting than you do playing, and that’s a huge issue
   For what it is
   Strategy Boardgame:
   8.5/10
   
   Overall:
   6.5/10… Expand
