The Dragon Queen Deluxe is supposed to ship with two main components (plus a Deluxe-edition exclusive DM screen): the DnD book "Shadow of the Dragon Queen" (with deluxe edition alternate cover), and the board game "Warriors of Krynn". Wargamer.com [wargamer.com] sums up the difference and why they'd be bundled together:



The Warriors game can be purchased separately [amazon.com] too, same with the Dragon Queen book [amazon.com], and if this Deluxe set uses the same board game box, that box is too small for the DnD book, so that one Amazon reviewer "Does not have the book" may have gotten Amazon error if the book was not packed in the shipment, or maybe it was shipped separately, as Amazon does sometimes.

To clarify, it looks like the Warriors box includes 2 booklets for rules and scenarios, and the Dragon Queen book is a separate book, but the Dragon Queen book also has 6 scenarios for use with Warriors.

As for the price...ehhhh. That board game should probably MSRP $60 tops, with sales at $40-50 (and the Deluxe set should probably MSRP $100 tops, with sale at $80), but this set comes with that exclusive DM screen and the alt cover for the Dragon Queen book. But other Amazon reviewers already noted that the board game probably doesn't add much that a reasonably-creative DM can't whip up with homebrew rules, so if the screen and alt cover isn't desired, just get the Dragon Queen book.

I mean I guess this might also be marketed at new DMs who came from the two Starter boxes and might want to expand into a more epic battlefield vibe without having to do too much homework to set up and run the battles.

Reviews say this doesn't even come with the book. Does anyone know if this is true? Not sure this is worth it even if it did. I play and own a shit ton of board games, and this seems like very little for the price.

For Dragonlance, this would begin with Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen, a D&D 5e campaign book, and the miniatures war board game Dragonlance: Warriors of Krynn. Set during the War of the Lance, Wizards says you don't need any prior Dragonlance knowledge to enjoy the new material. The two titles are also standalone, but there will reportedly be rules in the campaign book for using the board game components to stage battles.
The Warriors game can be purchased separately [amazon.com] too, same with the Dragon Queen book [amazon.com], and if this Deluxe set uses the same board game box, that box is too small for the DnD book, so that one Amazon reviewer "Does not have the book" may have gotten Amazon error if the book was not packed in the shipment, or maybe it was shipped separately, as Amazon does sometimes.

I suggest that starter kit with the Mines of Phandelver as a beginner kit. After that buy the 3 core books and go from there. You'll still be cheaper than this. Improvising all this stuff included is half the fun. You don't need item cards and stuff, a pack of index cards (and a printer if you wanna get fancy) is more than sufficient.

The cards and other stuff are for a board game that is included with this set.

This set is the Dragonlance module, a DM screen, and the 'Warriors of Krynn' board game.

That being said, I would agree that if someone is wanting to get into D&D, this set isn't what they should be buying.

Yep. Chronicles and Legends trilogies are very good.
