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!
Great Game (5/5)	Oct 31, 2009	Anon Y. Mous
My Friend has and I want it. OOTS is my favorite comic. Great Game.
Fantastic Game! (5/5)	Oct 31, 2009	Stephanie Voge	Omaha NE US
It took a little while to get the hang of this game, but once we figured out the mechanics, it was a blast! I ran this game at my local gaming convention in Omaha, NE (www.nuke-con.com) and it was a mega-success. I was forced to promise to bring it next year and run it more than once. I think the time estimates for how long a game takes are a little low, but other than that, this game is wildly original with hysterical flavor text. I also love that its a "new" game every time you play it.
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.
