OOTS Game (5/5)	Jul 26, 2010	Anonymous
Pretty awesome game, takes a few minutes to get started but once you do it kicks some ass.
really fun game (4/5)	Jul 6, 2010	eric w	santa clarita ca US
after purchasing this game and playing with my friends we enjoyed the results we achieved from it. the only problems were how instead of the cards being reprinted to the updated rules, there was a FAQ instead. although it did not affect the game play much. it did cause some headaches and arguing when fighting Xykon. overall it was well worth the price. as well hopefully an expansion
A Round of Laughs (5/5)	Jun 16, 2010	Jonathan	Auckland Ne
I bought this game from my local gaming store because I saw it and knew I would love it as much as I love the comic. I've played it once, and have another group of my friends that really want to play it when we get the chance. I opened it up as soon as I got home and read the rules and the comic that come with it, and laughed my head off for a good couple of hours. After playing it once, I've also read through all the cards, and had myself laughing again. I love OOTS, and if they make an expansion for this game, or another one set somewhere else in the OOTS storyline, I would buy it without hesitation.
Fun, but... (3/5)	May 3, 2010	Katz	Pasadena Ca US
The "grossly overlong and complex strategy game based on a popular franchise" genre is too full already. It seems like it's meant to be played cooperatively, but some of the mechanics (one player choosing a monster for another player to fight) make it conducive to a lot of bitching and moaning. There are balance issues too (nobody else has much that can match Roy's Great Cleave). The cards are funny and there are a lot of jokes from the comic, but I feel like I would have had just as good a time just looking through the deck as actually playing.
AWESOME (5/5)	Mar 28, 2010	Mark	Pesaro IT
I had the chance to play with my mates (who bought it) when they came at my place for winter holydays, it kept us all playing all night long! Fantastic gameplay, lots of laughs and wonderful setup. Very easy to learn and play, thumbs up! A must have. Definitely.
OMG! (5/5)	Mar 11, 2010	Haley Starshine	Attica In US
I love OOTS! I am going as Haley to the next con. My man is going as Elan, we have Durken, Roy, V, and Belkar! I can't wait!
So much fun! (5/5)	Dec 26, 2009	Matt Newkirk	Saginaw Mi US
I've played some cooperative games like Arkham Horror and this one is even better! I love the hilarious shtick cards and the added tactics of figuring out whether to help or hinder your co-players is fantastic!
Awesome Game! (5/5)	Dec 25, 2009	Bjoern von der Osten	Munich DE
I bought the game from a local comic book shop here in Germany for an affordable price, and I have to say it's a really great game. I'm a big fan of the comic, and when I saw this game I just had to have it! It takes a little bit of time to get into the game for the first time, but after one has played for a few turns it becomes clear how everything works and then it's really one of the most enjoable games I have ever played! Even some of my friends that don't play any RPG games find love it! So if you read this and havent bought this game yet - BUY IT NOW! ;) It's really worth it! And on a side note: I read on the forum the other day that there will be no expansion - I really hope you guys change your mind. I would instantly preorder it the second it would be announced, an I think almost anyone who bought the game would do the same! So please make an expansion for this great game! Thanks =)
We need a sequel! (5/5)	Dec 6, 2009	S. Lockwood-Childs	Ca US
Not only is this one of my all-time favorite games, my whole family loves it too -- including my mother and sister who are not RPG fans! They are still able to appreciate the humor sprinkled throughout the whole game, from the instructions to character sheets to wise-cracking monsters. I've never seen any other game with characters that provide such interesting variety, and that is true even for players that have never read the comic! The rules are somewhat complex, so expect to read the nicely-illustrated instruction book quite a few times while learning the ropes.
The Order of the Stick Adventure Game (5/5)	Nov 16, 2009	The Kate	Lawrence Ka US
THIS GAME IS AWESOME. We got it, thinking "eh, this game could be so-so and we'd still love it because it's an adventure game for all our favorite characters." The characterizations of all the different characters is held true- Roy acts the hapless leader in his play cards, Elan the sweet simpleton.. But we loved it for not only it's characters, but the gameplay is truly great!! It has an RPG feel that compares to a D&D game.. collecting weapons and tricks "Schticks" and useful items "Loot" that truly aid or hinder your character appropriately! It is an enjoyable 3+ hour game, so be prepared to get lost in the sly loot tricks of Haley or the lazy, backstabbing evil of Belkar (my favorite). This game delivers true, fun action, even for non OOTS fans. I recommend it highly!
