Fun, but just not the best. (3/5)	Aug 8, 2011	Anonymous
While the game is certainly fun, certain other d&d-inspired card games are simply better. The game tends to drag on and occasionally the system just breaks down. I hope the the expansion solves some of the issues, but I cannot in good faith give this game over 3 stars. Maybe 3 and a half.
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.
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.
Great Game (5/5)	Oct 31, 2009	Anon Y. Mous
My Friend has and I want it. OOTS is my favorite comic. Great Game.
Great game but rather lengthy. (5/5)	Oct 20, 2009	Anonymous
So a game to my favourite webcomic. First: the game is incredibly funny to read. The humour of the comic has made it to 100% to the game. Very card, every page in the rulebook is good for a laugh. The game itself is also really fun to play as it has a nice balance between teamwork and in-fighting. Though it's a rather lenghty game, you should bring time. Also it's not the most easy game to comprehend in all details. But the quick-play rules (which are in the form of a comic that is hilarious) make a good job at showing how the basics are played.
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!
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.
Hilarious Fun! (5/5)	Oct 27, 2009	Jim Wrench	Champaign IL US
As was mentioned above this game can take a bit of time, but after the first two or three sessions the pace picks up as everyone gets used to the rules. The quick play rules are a good start, and you'll have just as much fun reading all the cards as you will actually playing the game. Every time I play I discover a new joke that I missed the last time
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!
Bad game (1/5)	Dec 24, 2011	Anon	Minneapolis US
This game drags on and on and on. It's pretty funny because it's OOTS, but you should just read the comics for that kind of fun. The game itself is bad.
