When I first opened Lineage II: the Board Game (Dagoy, 2005 - Thomas H. Jung, and Sunyoung and Sanghoon Lim), I was very impressed to see the quality of the components and the originality of the game.
The game is at its best with five, but works fairly well with four, and is an interesting mix of RPG and (very) light war game.
But the people who have played the game said that the board game has a decent reputation - and everyone who played the game had fun, regardless of their knowledge of the computer version.
