Mage Knight. This game threw me in to an unbridaled rage with how much I loathed it. I couldn't understand why it was rated so highly. So, I went to BGG to see just how so many people could like this awful game.

Turns out everyone plays it cooperatively. Not a soul plays nor recommends the competitive mode; the mode I was playing in.

Mage Knight was without a doubt the worst boardgaming experience I have ever had.

The blame is totally on the game owner who thought the "Full conquest" mode was appropriate for 4 players who had never tried the game. It was a miserable experience, lasted more than 8 hours long with up to 30 minutes between my turns.
