I am very glad i bought this. The description, "The game equips you with a set of tools to craft a captivating story comparable to a compelling novel or a riveting TV show" i found to be very accurate. I was able to complete an Expedition in about 30 minutes and I am surprisingly interested in my character's advancement. Completing a mission was also rewarding and challenging. While successful, i did not come out unscathed. I like the mechanic of Total/Partial Success and Failure. For the purpose of storytelling, in relaying the story to friends and family of my first Expeditions, the tables give an excellent base that allows for plenty embellishments and flavor. It felt like i was part of my own TV show. Glad i bought it on sale, but i would have payed full price now that i've had a chance to try it out!
