Summary
The Pathfinder 2E Beginner Box is not only a fantastic introduction the the fantasy roleplaying game but is also jam packed with value. Players should find themselves able to play a good long time with only the contents of the box. Granted, this won't change anyone's opinion if they don't care for the Pathfinder mechanics; it's the same game afterall. Yet you can't go wrong with this release if you have any interest in the most recent edition of the game. I give the Beginner Box my highest recommendation.
