My local group isn't finding it quite as easy a pickup, but definitely a hoot.
While I've not tried playing, I've been watching from the side, and more than once popped up with something the others were struggling with.
One of the players had a loot token, which gives you VP's at the end; unfortunately, they couldn't find what those were. One was looking at 'Plunder' because it mentions looting; at the end of the paragraph, there's a 'don't confuse plunder tokens with loot tokens.'
I remembered he'd picked up in dangerous terrain, looked under that section, and found it.
For such a simple and fairly small, once you delete fluff, book, it could really do with an index. ;->=
Point is, my friends have had four bouts under their belts, and ready for another go!
Thev've already bought three sets of Kraken templates.
