i prepped by getting the YASS tackle box together including breaking that godforsaken piece to get the 3-hexes to fit. today, my buddy came over and from un-shrinkwrapping to finishing scenario 1, it was about four hours (3 players). scenario 2 was only 30 mins, which was pretty funny. our party is the brute, tinkerer, and mindthief. don't have any baggies for cards so just threw everything but the tackle boxes in and will sort out how to put it all in the box later when i bag the cards.
really enjoyed it and surprisingly so did my wife.
