Dungeons & Dragons: The Yawning Portal Game, D&D Strategy Board Game for 1-4 Players, Ages 12+

I've been playing D&D for decades and was so happy to see them a game based in my favorite Inn in Water Deep. My whole family was super excited to find this game and we cancelled a campaign session to play this game instead. We were disappointed, to say the least. The game itself, the board and pieces are cute, bright, and in the case of the gems, pretty. The instructions are not very clear. In fact, they are down right confusing. We turned to YouTube to figure out gameplay. It still wasn't very clear after watching several videos. Gameplay is underwhelming and almost tedious. I didn't enjoy it and I ended up winning by a lot of points. Maybe I expected the Yawning Portal game to be more than it was, but I was severely disappointed

This game has been fun. Myself and a few friends played this together. My friends have played and ran their own D&D groups and I’ve never played. But it was still fun and entertaining. It kind of reminds me of a medieval semi monopoly game lol. Due to the smaller sized gems and characters, I really don’t suggest having small small children or animals around. They are easy to get lost or eaten

This is a fun game but we are still learning how to play it. The pieces are well made and the instructions are fairly simple however there are allot of variables to the actual gameplay. My teens are really having fun learning more about D&D and can't wait to get more immersed in it with their friends. Quality game by a well-known company.

This new genius way to play D&D; Dungeons & Dragons: The Yawning Portal Game is one that brings family together for a fun memorable experience. My family and I really enjoyed playing this "strategy game of famished beasts and fantastic feasts". This game calls for 1-4 players my family and I decided to play in pairs for are large family of 8. I highly recommend for any group gathering.

A very fun "Tavern Simulator" resource management game with some strategic backstabbing thrown in for good measure, The Yawning Portal basically revolves around trying to satisfy the dietary requirements of various patrons of the tavern. If the D&D branding is throwing you off, just be aware that there are no actual D&D elements in this game besides artwork and some basic fantasy RP terminology - there is nothing in the gameplay that resembles D&D at all. The gameplay is somewhat reminiscent of Splendor, especially the feeling of handling the generously chonky gem tokens. The rules have a couple of parts that seem a little complicated for an otherwise simple concept, and some interesting rule deciphering conversations were had by our group when first playing it. The scoring at the end in particular can be a bit math-y and it's next to impossible to know during the game how anyone else is doing score-wise until close to the end of the game. Despite a few minor tricky bits, the core gameplay is fun and finding ways to cut your opponents' feet out from under them is very satisfying. We'll definitely be playing this one again!

Dungeons & Dragons: The Yawning Portal Game is a tactical & fun game. There are interesting rules which take some time to understand and it requires a well thought plan to win the game. Quality of the board, card and gems is super good. Gems in particular are beautifully crafted. Main game board is quite illustrious, full of characters and designed magnificently. Overall brilliant game. Great time spent with friends/family and this game is for all occasions.

I got the Dungeons & Dragons: The Yawning Portal Game for my 26 year old son who is very much into D&D. He wasn’t too sure at first but finally told be he broke it out with his other D&D friends and had a great time playing

The dungeons and dragons portal master game is so fun!! It is great for those who love dungeons and dragons or those who are curious. We had so much fun playing. The pieces are well made and will last for quite some time. I love the artwork!

My oldest is a big dungeons and dragons fan so she was stoked when she saw this. The graphic are amazing. We both appreciate how the board pieces together like a puzzle and breaks down for easy storage. The game pieces are very detailed as well as the cards. Her and her friend have really enjoyed this game.

This seems like it's a great game for those who know and love Dungeons & Dragons. For a total newbie like myself...I'm not sure. The game feels complicated and overwhelming when you open it. The best thing is the chest of colorful and very magical feeling plastic gems, lol. Being totally new to this universe...it's confusing. It honestly feels like a game for kids whose parents are intense D&D fans...Or just for true blue D&D fans. For me, even being a foodie and a board game lover, this seems a bit boring. I think its because I have no emotional connection yet to D&D. I didn't know that the Yawning Portal was a real place in this world, that it connects with many different stories, etc. It would be like a game on Hogsmeade if you don't really know what Harry Potter is. Overall, not for me. I'll be gifting it to my cousin who will appreciate it more than I can.
