Shadows of Brimstone: Forbidden Fortress Core Set

Forbidden Fortress is a great addition to the Shadows of Brimstone line. Set in feudal Japan, it has wonderful miniatures and great gameplay. A must buy.

This core set is such an improvement over the original 2 western core sets. The enemies are much more varied and interesting. The heros are a big step up as well. I really enjoy the ancient Japanese theme. It is so much fun to fight enemies, level up your character, and find new gear. An all around great dungeon crawler.

Cross between d and d and hero quest with a twist.

The characters in this are super fun and the monsters incredible. Had a great time painting them and everything is such quality. Best board game I’ve ever played.

Once you get everything thing together and on the table you won’t be disappointed, building the models wasn’t hard, tho I been building models for over 35 years the game wasn’t hard to learn but after a few plays you can pretty much get the flow down rather quickly.

The game is awesome. Very addictive. Beware: if you buy a core set, you will want to add everything else later.

Fantastic Game sure to bring years of enjoyment. The Miniatures look great.

Best price anywhere for this! Great additions to the heroes vs the western themed core sets. Integrates perfectly with the others to allow my kid to be a ninja and me a gunslinger. Highly recommend.

I have played this once, this is my first Brimstone game. I do like it. I feel the more I play it, the more ironed out with the rules I will get. The rules aren't bad, but there can be a lot of things to remember and read to make sure you are getting everything. Fantasy Flight Games really spoils us with the way their instructions and references that they give. Flying Frog could organize their instructions better, sometimes I find things hard to look up. The models are awesome, but I feel they could have used maybe 1 more set of enemies of some kind, or make the ooze the plastic models instead of the tokens. As for everything else, there is a lot to the game. It is fun, but there is so much going on at times. There is a lot of rolling. And unfortunately the dice gods were against my girlfriend and I. We did not win the scenario, but we had fun. If you like Shadow of Brimstone games I was told you would like it. I do love the Samurai theme to it. I can't wait until more enemy packs and expansions come out for it.
