Much long waited big game has arrived. Owning the first edition of Descent: Journeys in the Dark but rarely played it due to its long game time for a fruitful game session. After playtested the 2nd edition and have to admit that the system is now so much streamlined with all the strengths of the 1st edition and meet up the expectation for a Descent game. I now received the Chinese version of the game, which I was involved in the production. So eager to make it hit the table soon.
