I found out about this game today and got a chance to play.

I created an open house and got into a short game with three people before one had to leave, and then played another with the person who stayed. One time someone joined and started throwing things around, and I started throwing them around with them; two other people came in later though and watched the game and helped set everything in order in a timely fashion.
I had a really fun time playing, and teaching people, and speculating upon how to play myself - since not all of the rules are very narrowly defined. I consider myself and amateur ( yet grossly talented ) game-designer, and I had a lot of ideas about how the game could be improved or clarified.
Some time soon I'm gonna go back into the game and take a real concentrated look around and come up with some brain-storm and balance ideas and come back here and post them. For now, I'll just say that I think there should be a "Pass Town" rule where whenever you pass town, you get regenerated, and may buy items from the shop; this way, it makes it seem like you are given more meaningful choices while making your way around the board -- you can try to pass back around to the town to spend your gold, or test your luck in the depths of the dungeon!
