There is no perfect game, but I have grown to love very many along with their niggles. Symbaroum is close to perfect for me, and much closer than many. I think Ability combos can skew combat effectiveness too quickly and supposedly dangerous and difficult foes can be something of a pushover, but that aside there is so much to like.

I’m much less system bothered these days (unless it really is bad) and the setting counts for a great deal more. The Symbaroum rules, whilst very light, contain flavour that add to setting.

I’m buzzing having just run a full weekend of the game, playing through The Copper Crown. A great gaming experience.
