This is an OK game if you don't play any other tabletop games, the artwork is silly and can make you chuckle. (0 more)
The base mechanics are unimaginative, player elimination itself is not the best mechanic but add to it the extreme luck evident in the game, it feels like pure luck who wins. (0 more)
Exploding Kittens? More like explode with boredom
Exploding Kittens is a game trying to evoke emotions through a silly name and theme but the essence of the game, the gameplay, is lack luster and after a few plays is boring. I have owned this game since it has come out and I can count on one hand the number of times I have played this game.

 The only positive point is that the artwork is great and the game is worth playing just to get a look at all the fun art.

Design is awesome (2 more)
Mechanics are fun and easy to teach
Mechanics have lots of replayability
Stories can get repetitive (0 more)
Above and Below is a great introductory game to adventure mechanics. Nothing in the game is difficult, and players can feel accomplished, even in their first game. But there is also enough variety to allow for great replay ability and to still keep the game interesting for experienced tabletop players.

And oh man, is the design awesome. You'll be amazed at the level of detail that went in to the cartoony graphic design.

Ultimately, the biggest downfall is the lack of adventure stories. You might think I'm crazy, because there are 208. But in just a few games, we managed to replay quite a few stories. This is less than ideal, because not knowing the outcomes of the stories is integral to the gameplay. Perhaps this is something that the expansions fix, but I have not played them.

A great begginer game
This worker replacement game is a very good games to start with for anyone who has never played tabletop games before. The strategy for this game is minimal, it is always good to have some kind of strategy, however other players moves may change your strategy for you in this game, but its effects are not very harsh. There is always another option in this game especially the further into the game you get as more placements will be available. However worker placement is the main mechanic in this game set collection is also a mechanic which is really important in this game. Collecting your pieces are almost just as important as placing your workers. Even though it is generally considered a beginner's introductory game I find this game to be a great go to for myself even though I am beyond beginner level. This is a great game for beginner intermediate to expert and family all different groups enjoy this game.
