Only 60 minutes playtime, beautiful visually, cooperative. No way this is a shelf toad in my group.

Why would I fight through crashed servers to get it?

It was a game that came out of nowhere and was announced 1 month ago. Many video reviewers were sent a copy to review it and were under embargo until last month so a bunch of reviews dropped on the same day.
They flew Tom Vasel and Quinns from SUSD in a year and a half ago to do some consulting on the game and give some feedback.
It was available starting yesterday and the 1st wave is shipping immediately. There's 30,000 total printed and it's expected to sell out.
It's a cooperative programming game where you kill minions and level up, kind of tower defense style. You don't really play a campaign but there's a narrative mission path with new rules introduced that is vaguely Legacy style (i.e. hidden content that you open as you go).
Beautiful components and most people have said this would normally be a $150 game, but Riot games is selling direct and cutting out the middle man so it's only $75. The size of the print run coupled with removing that middle man kind of makes this an unfair standard to apply to any other publisher.
The company who is putting this out makes League of Legends, the biggest video game in the world. This is not exactly a LoL board game, but it is set in the same world. While they're a video game company, they have a huge board game group in their headquarters and are fans of modern board games.

Good looking game. It looks like they're doing their best to make a good game by bringing in consultants, asking for advice, etc.
I also like that they limited the purchases to 1 per order. Didn't stop people from getting it up on eBay.
If the servers weren't so jacked up I might have tried to add some other things to my order but I didn't want to take the risk.
$75 plus $5 for shipping. Not bad at all.

The production is AMAZING for the price. The other thing that impresses me is that the game is so not complicated. There is just enough stuff to make a game, and the extra rules are only added as an extended tutorial. Shows that a videogame company is making it. There is even a (skippable) tutorial level.

Don't think this is going to be "game of the year" material, but the game is just a lot of fun, and I've only scratched the surface.
