I was originally put off by the price tag of this game and the thought of limited re playability, however I finally gave in to temptation and forked out for it.
Now when it arrived I popped the box open and was really surprised by the level of quality of the map pieces and cards, the minis are pretty much the standard for DnD however they are unpainted but still nice to look at. Then after popping out and un bagging all the pieces the box becomes a sensible storage arrangement preventing all the cards and loose pieces from going all over the place.
The rules a short and sweet, everyone should be in to the flow of the game after the first play through which for us took about 45 minutes, the adventures provided and the system of play used is fun and even entertained my older children who have never played DnD. The game comes with 13 Adventures which will play differently each time you try them, and with a little Google search I found quite a few more available.
All round quite fun and the kids are forced to do a little mental arithmetic :D

Castle Ravenloft lets up to five different heroes loose in a randomly generated dungeon to battle evil and save the world, and it pretty much garuntees an exciting adventure every time. There are 13 adventures to choose from, each dictating win and lose conditions as well as special events and monsters to keep things interesting. As your heroes set off on their adventures they explore the dungeon's random layout, fight random monsters, pick up random treasure and fall foul of a series of random events. The set up is just complex enough to keep the game different and exciting every time, and simple enough that you can pick up the rules fairly quickly, with Sequence of Play cards keeping everyone on track.
This game is cooperative. There are five Heroes, each with different powers and abilities, but all working together to get through the dungeon alive. There's a Wizard, a Cleric, a Ranger, a Thief and a guy who looks like a dragon and can breathe fire FTW. Some characters confer bonuses on the heroes close to them, and it's good fun chatting with other players to work out how best to tackle monsters; and it's great to see your characters pull off an improbable chain of butt-kicking with some canny use of powers and treasure items.
The monsters look ridiculously good. This game comes with a ton of great looking (unpainted) plastic miniatures (just over twenty, I think), and the monsters are as vicious as they look (apart from the zombie, he's just a lost sole. Awww). One of the key features of the game is that each monster is controlled by the player who initially stumbled upon them. Their behaviour is dictated be a Monster Card - a tick list of the nefarious actions they are to fulfil in a given situation, giving the player a little leeway with regard to the monster's precise movement. This means that a)there's no need for a 'baddie player' and b) players can predict the movements of incoming monsters and try and work out how not to die.
With some random Events thrown in for good measure, and more powerful Villain monsters for certain adventures, the dungeon really comes alive, and even the missions you team fail will have plenty of near-miss moments and heroic daring-do. Though the Event cards can sometimes be a little harsh, even the anguish of failure can be pretty funny when shared by a group.

Castle Ravenloft is a strategy boardgame for up to 5 players, playing co-operatively. Play on your own or with 4 other players as you delve into the dungeons below Castle Ravenloft searching for treasure, battling monsters and weaving your way through the dungeon's tricks and traps.
It's very easy to learn the rules and the game comes with lots of adventures to play through.
One of the best parts of the game is the modular board. As you explore, you lay down random tiles and this gives each game a completely unique feel as you'll never have the same game twice.
I highly recommend this game for anyone wanting to give their imagination a bit of a workout. It's challenging, but fun.
