Post Space Hulk Death Angel card game
Anyone played it? I think I'm going to pick it up, but I'd like any 'booters opinions if you've got 'em.

For those not in the know, SHDA is a cooperative, 1-6 player card game made by Fantasy Flight where you play a squad of Space Marines entering a derelict ship (the titular "Space Hulk") to clear out a horde of Tyranid Genestealers.

I enjoyed it. Didn't knock my socks off, but it's a fun coop game.

I picked it up recently. The game is very tough. I think I've come to the conclusion that each squad has a main (the guy named on the cards) and an assistant. The key to survival is to protect the main at all costs - the card advantages of the main are just too much to lose.

I've played the solitaire variant several times - good way to burn up a lunch hour. A very good gamer value.

I almost played it, then it was clarified that it wasn't Space Hulk being played, but the card game of a similar name. My buddies liked it, so I might get roped into playing eventually.

My friend has the new SH boardgame. I really want to play that one of these days.

I played this... I didn't like it that much actually. IT felt slow and bogged down. IDK, maybe its just me.

I'm not that interested in the SH board game, but I really wouldn't mind giving this a shot.

It plays like the old one, but looks amazing. I really wish I had time to paint the figs up.
