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!
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!
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
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.
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!
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
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.
Great Game (5/5)	Oct 31, 2009	Anon Y. Mous
My Friend has and I want it. OOTS is my favorite comic. Great Game.
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.
