Grave Robbers from Outer Space

My wife brought home the base version of this card game.

We played through it a couple times and I formed a few opinions. It certainly seems it would be much better suited for 4-6 players instead of just 2. There are several reasons for this but I'm supposing most people haven't played the game so I'll stay silent on that until I hear otherwise.

Balance is kind of hokey for a hokey game. It's mostly about draw luck although some strategy comes into play. The base game definitely needs the expansions which there are plenty. The biggest problem we ran into was that the numbers of characters seemed too limited. When one or both players has zero characters more than once every game there is something amiss. More props seem acceptable although the balance may be such that defense strength becomes too high although many of the SFX cards ignore these stats entirely.

Just curious if anyone else had played the game and their thoughts...

Sounds like an ideal card game for any misfits fan.

Anyway, what is the going price for one of these? I might see if I might pick one up.

Typical price is about $20 a set.

I got mine on Tanga for about $5 with some kind of free shipping special. They are otherwise $5 with enough shipping to get you close to $20. Z-Man games' website lists retailers but I haven't gotten a chance to see a typical shelf price yet.
