I searched the forum looking for some post about this game without success, so, sorry if previously post.
Someone played it? Someone has seen the  miniatures or the prepainted miniatures boxset? any feedback?

I liked it. It's different, and quite fun as a family game, but replay value gets pretty limited after you've played through it about 10x times.

Here's a review I did on it, with lots of more in-depth info on it...

Anyone seen a European (or better a UK) stockist ?

There is a thread which I think was started by Dewbakuk that had a link for a good priced UK dealer.

I agree that The Adventurers is best as a family game. I think the main reason that it doesn't play better is that all the characters (despite the beautiful figures) play exactly the same (except a 1 time per game special power.) What someone needs to do is create unique character cards with different stats for each character. It is something I would like to do, but I am far too busy to take it on.

Thanks Donpimpon for the link to my blog.

The miniatures look nice. What scale are the?
