Can somebody please tell me weather or not this game is 4th edition? I am new to D&D and want to get a good game.

This is not 4.0. It is a simplified version and it is OK. If you want to roleplay or play a real RPG this is not the game. But this is a great entry level game to start learning D&D; and the minitures are great.

I agree with Zongo32. It's a lot simpler and you can go on a solo quest which is fun.

Hello Jackson F. This game is BASED on 4th Edition, but it does NOT follow the exact same rule-set. This game is a STAND-ALONE game and does not require any PHBs, Monster Manuals ETC.. This game has its own rulebook and set of rules similar to 4th Edition. Basically, this is a board game, not a fully featured RPG like Dungeons and Dragons Table Top. This game can be completed without a DM and can be played with 1 (solo) or more people. If you need help finding 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons Quests, Books, or Tokens, ask and I can help-Joshua, Dungeon Master 4 yearsGame Master 2 Years Hello Jackson F.

The game is BASED on 4th edition and ties closely into D&D;, but it isn't D&D; per say. Personally it lead me to get interested in actual D&D; and I enjoy both immensely.

I have heard from others that it plays like D&D; 4th Edition in the sense that 4th is becoming more and more like a board game. That being said, this game is separate from the RPG D&D; 4th Ed. The D&D; Adventure System board games are all stand alone systems. They can be combined with each other, but you may be able to use the miniatures in other products.

This is a board game with rules similar to DnD 4th edition but it is not the 4th edition tabletop RPG.

Hey this is not the D&D; 4th edition, it is a separate game of its own with few elements from the D&D; series, much easier to play because you don't need a DM or make character sheets. Every player controls the monsters and every player controls their own hero's.

This is a standalone game that requires nothing else whatsoever. You don't even need to know HOW to play D&D. It can be used as a gateway game for exposing someone that may later want to play D&D but the Wrath of Ashardalon is completely independent. You can add the other two D&D boxed games or play those as standalone as well.

There are only two English versions that exist: the first edition published by Nexus, and the second edition published by Fantasy Flight Games. Chances are that anyone calling it a deluxe edition is referring to the 2nd. And if you're buying the game new, it's almost certainly the same [2nd] edition. The differences between the two are the 2nd has better components, better rules, and is readily available for purchase.

The second edition actually fixes some of the random issues with logical inconsistencies (in the first edition you could have a lake on the second floor), and it clarifies some of the scenarios while adding and removing a few of them.

I have been playing a long time this game is the easiest way of playing D&D; and quite fun ... The people whom I play with range in age from 40 to 14... This is more a tabletop game then an old school game of D&D; but it gives you the basics of how the game is played... I hope this helps and good adventuring

You don't need 1st edition. The 2nd edition is a complete stand-alone replacement. There are a few mistakes in the rules regarding victory cities and scoring (at least in my copy). Avalon Hill has the errata posted online; I'm not sure if the corrections actually made it to print.

Yes, it's totally compatible with the previous games. Check the D&D; website as well to see if they have expanded adventures for the combo, like they do for the previous pair!

My copy is the 3rd edition, but the cover is very different. I am guessing this might be the 2nd? As long As the description says 3rd edition, you should be ok. To be sure contact the seller.

Hi, I'm the designer of the game. I was concerned about all the rumors here, so I checked with the publisher. She told me that 5000 copies of the game had been sent to distributors during Q4, but some of the larger distributors may have sold out theirs already due to the Tabletop coverage. There are more on the way, though, and I suspect that some of the smaller places and local stores may still have copies available, so you shouldn't need to start scavenging quite yet!

If you get the other games, you can then combine different pieces, and board pieces to change up the game. You can also just have a continuation of a dungeon after you complete the first one. I have played the Drizzt version and its fun. You win sometimes and you lose sometimes, it easy to setup and follow the rules. I find it easier than getting all friends together and trying to get them to make characters for a game.

The copy I purchased did not come with dice. You will need two colors of dice; 2 of each for each player. Any gaming store (or the friendly neighborhood amazon.com) can hook you up; or go the cheap route and hit up the dollar stores. Fun game.

I recommend just buying the 5th edition starter kit and finding a few friends.also look into roll20 website you can play there for free and they have all kinds of D&D; games

I have not owned the first edition of the game, but from what I understand after a lot of research before I purchased was that it is basically the same game. Some inconsistencies were corrected and the characters were designed slightly differently, but it is basically the exact same game. Just updated slightly.

Well for this specific board game, it is included with the box, or can be found online at the wizards of the coast D&D web page. If you mean the official Dungeons and Dragons rule manual for the actual roleplaying game, then there are a few depending on which version you're playing. Core Rules, Advanced 1st edition, Advanced 2nd Edition, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and a new version comes out this summer. Yoou need to be very careful buing components from any of the games, because they aren't usually compatible with each other. The three board game titles, Castle Ravenloft, Wrath of Ashardalon, and Legend of Drizzt, are compatible with each other, but stand alone games complete and ready to play on their own.

Having all the sets: First should be normal DominionSecond should be Intrigue if you play with 5-6 players; Seaside otherwiseThird Prosperity if you got Seaside; Seaside if you got IntrigueFourth Intrigue if you got Seaside first; Otherwise ProsperityFifth Hinterlands .. it's a good set but not a beginners set at all.Then would get the small sets Cornucopia then Alchemy.

This is stand alone. Not very dungeons and dragons though playstyle is different
