review by Brenda Brown
If you're looking for a game you can play at work or just to have a good time without a lot of preparation time, then I have the perfect game for you. Dragon Storm. I played Dragon Storm at work with three other people. One player who games every week, and two players which are fairly new to role playing. We found this game to be fun and relaxed. The players were able to get excited about their characters. and in a matter of minutes we were able to start playing. Dragon Storm has something to offer everyone ranging from those who don't have a lot of time to play, to gamers who are looking for a game that more on the "lighter side." I was pleasantly suprised as I looked at the cards and found the art to be tasteful, which in my opinion is difficult to do. Because the characters of Dragon Storm not only morph into dragons--but can also morph into unicorns, I feel the game will be of interest to women, more so than some of the other games on the market at this time. I would also recommend Dragon Storm to first time players as well as beginning Game Masters. The rules are simple to understand and leave a lot of room for the players to really use their imaginations. With Dragon Storm the Game Master is not weighed down by the rules of the game but allowed to really explore the possibilities of each character. Despite how I feel about Dragon Storm for beginners, if you are a MEGA gamer this will not be for you, (unless you play it with the intent of just having a good time).
