the 5th edition precons

Ok, so I bought the box set with the five precons just to be done with it. Are these considered ok balanced, fun and good for learning the game?

If not, ill still build the ones on Bretts homepage for my little demo tomorrow.

Actually, now that I look at them, they look rather similar. Better and more interesting crypt in the new ones, though. Maybe a bit more complicated?

also, is it going to be annoying for us, that the 5th ed precons are so big? I sort of liked that Bretts precons were only 60 card libraries.

Long story short; have any of you guys tried these out and if so how do they play?

thanks for all the super meningfull help the last couple of days.

best,

Yes, this box set is designed to be balanced and good for learning the game.

The decks are the size the are since that number or cards fits into a tuckbox.

In many, if not most cases, decks tend to function better and more consistently the less cards they have.

Then again, depending on deck type, you might run out of deck so experience will show you which deck types have a better card flow and eat up more cards than 60.

We played them in my group when they first came out for the fun of playing precons that are balanced against each other which they are....I would say as usual if the stealth bleeder is left alone it will be the easiest deck to win with. Political we found a bit more difficult (as there are plenty of titles around in the decks) but still playable and fun as it really creates the need for negotiations highlighting this part of the game well.
