Defenders of the Realm

This Christmas, our new board game was Defenders of the Realm, which I bought largely because it's a co-operative game that takes about two hours to play, and I felt the lack of a game of that sort of length.

It can be very broadly summed up as Pandemic in a fantasy setting, with added dice and Larry Elmore art work. I found it fairly enjoyable, and it would probably make a good game for a gaming party, since it's pretty easy to pick up and only takes a couple of hours. I don't think it's as cleverly designed as Pandemic, and it's definitely less stressful and easier to win. But it's not at all bad.
