It's a boardgame version of D&D basically. Even D&D players love it, but it's not for everyone of course. There's several expansions and one called "The Road to Legend" bringing campaigns to the campaign (which could span 100+ hours).
Indeed, i've played my fair share of Descent long before 4e rolled around.

Tiles look familiar? This is from the same campaign as the aboleth one above.



I liked Descent well enough (and the tiles and monsters are top notch, and i've plundered the tokens too) but the game itself was too slow. For our tastes, 4e does everything Descent did and does it better and faster. They both have some strong similarities though. If the Road to Legend or future expansions have cool tiles and monsters, i'll grab those too.
