Did you ever buy a board game, open it up, and think to yourself…”dear goodness, what did I just get myself into?” That’s how I felt about “The Taverns of Tiefenthal”. I don’t get what I like to call “setup fatigue” often, but there were so many components in the box. That’s not always a bad thing, but there was no dedicated components page in the rulebook. The gameplay isn’t bad, in fact I quite like the deck building, dice drafting, and worker placement mechanics. The rulebook, component quality, and the Return On Investment felt lackluster however.
