How we reviewed it
What owners say.
- 1 positive
- 2 mixed
Paraphrased from public owner reviews. Each one links to where it was posted.
A parent says their boys, ages 5 and 9, really loved it and calls it a high-energy game that helped during a long winter indoors.
A player who mostly plays with one friend says it is fun in a group but not with two, because the cards do not circulate and one player can hold all the battle cards.
An owner calls it funny and hectic but suggests sleeving the cards, since they break easily when play gets heated.
