Good price on a must-have classic that, IMHO, belongs in every modern board gamer's collection (particularly with kids or families):

For anyone unfamiliar with the game, here's a great explanation from Shut Up & Sit Down of what makes it so enjoyable.

Love this game.

The one caveat I would say is that while it's tons of fun as an experience, it's not a great "game", because it's very, very random. If you're a eurogame type player, and don't enjoy other types of games, you probably want to avoid this game. Otherwise, yes, it's worth getting.

I picked up the star trek game based on this a while back (you can get it in shrink wrap still even though it's been out of print 30 years) but I haven't even opened or played it yet even though I've had it about five years. I need to get to it.

True, in the strictest sense, it's certainly more storytelling experience than game. But as long as everyone goes in with the right mindset and plays to create epic yarns (regardless of the consequences), it absolutely excels at what it does and makes for an immensely entertaining experience. Suffice it to say, I think the Shut Up & Sit Down review sums it up perfectly.

Also, after developing some familiarity with the game, I'd thoroughly recommend the Storytelling Variant available from Z-Man Games.
