If you're into Red Dragon Inn, wouldn't be a bad idea to pick this up. Pooky has his own unique deck, slightly more complicated than the first two installments but not so much as the multi-deck characters from RD3. He plays a little like Serena from RD3, only while her piety is a gradual thing, Pooky's mood counter can ping-pong quite a bit (which suits his spastic nature). I don't think there's any advantage in his being calm, either, so it's kind of a silver lining when something bad happens to him that his mood gets worse and he's more dangerous.I like playing as Pooky. He's pretty well balanced in terms of strength, kind of middle-of-the-pack. I guess I'll have to play as him a few more times to really get the hang of it, but he's enjoyable and that's what counts in RDI.The box comes with a tiny character board, about half the size of one from a full version. There is one glass counter for his moods, but the fortitude and Alcohol counters are both cardboard (boo). He has additional coins, but they are about half the size of those included with the full version, which was kind of a goofy choice. I would have preferred all glass counters and coins interchangeable with the other version, but that is purely asthetic and rendered moot if you just use counters/board/coins from a full version, which you can do unless you are already at the maximum amount of players. That criticism is so minor I'm not knocking a point off; just felt it was worth pointing out.Finally, Pooky does not come with a drink deck, which Slugfest has consistently pointed out, and which is why he is an expansion. You couldn't, for example, buy only Pooky and Erin the Ever-Changing and have them duke it out without a full version.Hope this helps! Buy Pooky, and play RDI!
