This is... rather special for me.It's with happiness and a little bit of sadness to finally say that I completed the entire Mice & Mystics "Sorrow and Remembrenance" story.
*sniff*
This is not an actual "review" or a "session" report.
I bought this game when it first came out, where it sat on the shelf for several years, largely unplayed and forgottened.
I was going to put the game up for sale, trade away or just give it to my niece, that I took the game off the shelf to make sure all the components were still there. While looking through everything, flipping through the Story booklet and gawking at all the cool figures, I decided to sit down and actually play the damn thing.
*QUE SAD MUSIC*

It took me about 2 months of on-and-off gaming. Setting up the entire game on my dining table, putting it away when I expected guests or whatever. Setting it up all over again, re-reading the rules over and over, asking questions on this forum, getting aggravated over the sometimes God-like unfairness of the dice rolls, then Lily one-shots a centiepede and saves the day, getting a surge right before the mice were going to finish the last tile, eagerly reading on to find out what new twists and challenges the game will throw at me on the next chapter.
And now it's all over.
What a great game. What a ride. WOW. Joy, sadness, YES I found an Enchanted Bow! NO I LOST THE ENCHANTED BOW! C'mon baby no cheese no cheese... *rolls dice* NO CHEESE! What's on the next tile? I'm GAMBLING with the rats now? FUG IT! SUMMON CAT! GET EM BRODIE! C'mon LILY kill SOMETHING JEEEEZ! *Rolls for Lily's attack using Power Shot* 4 Cheese rolls? CHEESE MASTER? Push the End of the Game marker up one!!
It's the first board game where I was genuinely inspired to paint all the figures. I claim NOT to be an expert at it, but I'm proud of the way it turned out. This is mine. I painted it.
At the end, coasting down the water way, using both a timely LEVITATE and TELEPORT... the ride ended, and I still feel dizzy from it all.
GG!
Now to pass the game on to my nieces, and hope they experience the same roller coaster as I did.
