Warning: contains spoilers for the Etherfields boargame!
Couple of days ago I wrote we are at the endgame of our Etherfields core box campaign and would be soon out of things to play (in this game) until the second wave shipment would bring us the additional campaigns included in the extension packs.
We finally have all the keys. We face the final dreamgate, the gate to home. We place the keys into the locks, turning them one by one. Slowly, the door opens, revealing a familiar path - the road home.
This is it, the end. We are home. Everything is just as we remembered, jus the way it should be. Tired, we head to bed.
In the morning we wake up. Everything still looks normal... until we look through the window, out into a twisted landscape.
We have just waken into another dream.
I have to admit this got me. I was anticipating the ending. The last scenario felt a bit of a let down: no epic boss fight, not even challenging puzzles. Just an ordinary walk back home. Until we read the scenario ending: this was just the end of part one. Still perplexed we thought the story would continue on the extension campaigns. Almost starting to put the game away I decided to check the remaining content we didn't uncover during our play. Wait! The next scenario is here. Seems like most of the remaining content is after that. Is the next part still here, in the box?
So it's not over yet. We have still plenty to play until the core box is done. I was already happy the game provided entertainment well worth the money, and then there is even more!
