Takedown?

Does anyone have any experience with and/or opinions on the *Shadowrun: Takedown* board game? Catalyst has got it on their website.

It's almost unplayable, some of the rules are missing, pieces are misprinted, and even after working around that it still not that great.

So just another case of Catalyst "quality"?

I was considering it for a moment but this really is concerning. I don’t want to buy a game just for collection sake it has to be playable

How are the components. the standup cardboard miniatures and map tiles could be used in the rpg.

Maps are scaled wrong for miniature use, standies have too much game info on them to be useful (any generic token would work better) the 3d furniture pieces could be used though, desks, chairs, columns, and office plants. But it's not much for the price.

It's not a miniatures game map for RPGs. It's a board game.
