Table of Tales: The Crooked Crown

best table top game with miniatures

Loved this game. Very short, very well done. Wish it had localization.

Me ha gustado mucho, la historia te engancha. Está muy bien hecho para VR.

Imagine Demeo except you actually level up, learn new skills, and get to really play a game in a choose-your-own-adventuer style where your actions change the story. Oh and it's not impossible difficult. Only gripe is you can't "turn" the table in VR like most other top-down games but that's not enough to make me dislike it completely. Very fun and a great way to lose a few hours at a time. More good single player board games in VR like this, please.

I enjoyed my time in this game. The momentum and pace is beautifully captured by the rolling table scene changes, and the narrator's excellent story telling. Luck plays a big part. Death count is likely to be low enough to avoid undue frustration. If you don't clear a scene, think again and take a different path on a redo. Cards control actions, and characters level up at milestones. My only criticism is mistakes being rewarded with a single section of narration, repeated over and over. Otherwise, solid adventuring, good story, very well told. On sale at time of writing this review, and value to be had at twice the price.

This was good VR games IF YOU BUY IT ON SALE. I mean, I did not rush it yet completed it in 9 hour. It is a really fun game, I liked the story telling, the artistic direction. II did not have any trouble getting into the story or game mechanics. But it stays quite simple and you can get bored with it pretty fast, this is why 9 hours isn't TOO short : I was getting bored just as it ended. More character customization / specializations and more permanent choices in the story would have made the fun last a bit longer I think. So, if it sales for 5 or 10 euros, go for it. But 19,50 is just a bit much to me.

It's a nice little tabletop experience that will occupy an evening or two. The mechanics are pretty simple and the story is functional enough to tie together the series of combat encounters that make up the game. There's also competent voiced narration throughout the game. There isn't much depth to it, but there's enough there to fill a 5-hour playthrough. Player choices would also seem to alter the playthrough enough that replaying the game might be worthwhile. I feel like I got my money's worth after getting the game on sale. I might feel differently if I had payed full price.
