Price Tag

So I saw it will be going for 75 USD. I love board games but the most I have ever spent on a board game was probably 50 USD and that was on Settlers of Catan. I normally stick to around the 20 USD board games sometimes 30 USD (Munchkins, Monster Boss, Catan, etc.). So for those that play board games more than I, How do you judge if a price is fair or not. I look for replay-ability, aesthetics, enjoyment, and accessibility (if I have a friend over that never has played is it going to be a waste of 90 minutes to hammer out a quest.) The price is scaring me away little bit just because I get nervous spending that much cash on a board game. Thanks for any help.

I'm a bigger board gamer than video gamer, have over 250 games in my collection so far over the years. I can honestly say that the components to this game are first rate compared to some $200 Kickstarter games I have backed. Catan and Munchin sell you paper and cardboard, this has metal and fully painted figures, high quality boards, and over 100 minis. The game itself has lots of replayability, seriously get this.

When I saw metal pieces and fully painted I figured that's what drove the cost up. I got a little excited that the minions are silver does that mean you can paint them? I have always wanted to delve into that but never had the chance or opportunity to. Worst case this game has great miniatures to display. Thanks for your input.

well the silver minions are actually "washed" with black ink to give them depth, there's 100 of the little buggers I suppose you could paint them all lol. And the cost isn't even up on it, go check out Mansions of Madness 2nd edition it comes with crappy cardboard, and terrible quality minis, all unpainted and it costs the same if not more than this.

The price tag ($75) is insanely amazing. Other people in the industry said for the same quality they would be charging $150 to $200. After playing the game and looking at the components it is 100% worth it if you like this type of gameplay. Basically, Riot Games is selling this at almost no profit. The amount of content and quality is off the charts and no other game can compete.

So after contemplating and reading reviews and play throughs. I think 75 USD is super good for what we are getting and play value. I bought this while I'm in Europe and it was fantastic price for shipping only 5 euros or so. Appreciate all the help guys in the end I would also like to show my support to riot and let them know I like the direction they are going by letting my money do some of my talking.

75 USD? Have a laugh, Riot exchanges the USD to EURO. It's overpriced in Dollars, but in EURO's its even more expensive. Its ridiculous. 75 Euro = 82.84 USD.
