I went ahead and got this set and really enjoyed building it. I also really like the idea of giant skull fortresses so it was right up my alley.
I know it's a gameboard but I think it holds up well as a playset/display piece as well.
Though I ended up having to make some modifications to the mechanisms. Mainly adding a guide to the cage rope so it wouldn't move out of the pulley, and adding weight to the cage and lava steps so that they wouldn't get stuck and not lower. It's kind of silly that they didn't add the extra 6ish pieces to make it work that much better. Also the crank(stone pillar on the left) is free floating besides one 1x plate holding it, so I'll have to shore that up so I don't rip the whole section apart trying to crank it
Gonna play the game tonight but I'm basically making my own rules based on their super simplistic ones. I'm kind of disappointed that the "full" game is needlessly complicated. I would have rather them just expanded on the basic rules with light roleplaying elements.
