Easy to play
Fantastic
I absolutely love this game! This was brought to our group by one of our volunteers and it was an instant hit.

I like it because it’s played I similar format to Cards Against Humanity but can be adapted to use with a group of friends with a very dark sense of humour but will also work with a group where the humour is very light. Basically you could play it with your friends or your nan and it would work.

I have recommend this game to all of my friends, it really is that good!

Massively under rated
This game is so under rated. It's easy to learn, takes around 4 or 5 games to get the hang of. Each game lasts around 15 mins to 30 mins. All of the cards are nicely made and it's suited to 2 to 5 players. I have played this at the pub with friends as it's easy to carry around. All it needs is a couple of fun expansion packs. There are unofficial fan made ones but I didn't want to try them. All in all a great addictive game to play.

Great two player adaptation
My wife and I like this game for its smaller table footprint, speedy turn play and the play time is not extensive. This game is about creating your own ancient civilization. There are multiple paths to victory, and it is important that you think out your goal based on the cards laid before you and observing what your opponent is doing. You can achieve victory through military might, having a strong economy to get lots of money, or just building the best buildings and getting your wonders made.

A good game made better with expansions (which I'll review later). The base game is a solid deckbuilder with an awesome twist of a set number of cards in your deck, but you can improve them. There is a interesting press your luck mechanic that lets you know your deck inside and out to help. At two players the game feels a little short. The game ends as the engines really start going. It also does need an expansion to keep it fresh as the base game almost feels a bit limited. With expansions though the game really comes into its own.

Fantastic game with 2-4 player, solo, vs, and co-op capabilities. For a semi-random card picking game, the character you build by the end of the game is almost always a remarkably logical character. Half the fun is deciding who you've built from popular fantasy stories. Both vs and co-op games have very interesting (and very different!) gameplay. Just as fun with 2 players as with 4. I wish there were more hero and anti-hero cards, because we tend to run out of them, but that's really my only negative thing to say about this game. LOVE IT.

The first at something isn't usually the best at it.
There are much better versions out there now. This was the first of it's kind, he invented the genre, and it's a great genre. But I would bet if he attempted this again he'd change a lot of things. The theme is barely there, as far as deck builders go, I much prefer Lewis and Clark which has an amazing theme and multi use cards which is amazing as well. Clank is also a much better version. My wife likes this game much better than I do.

Aww. But this is my favorite! Maybe it' a sense of nostalgia for me? It was the first deck builder I played.

Hilarious
Before New Years, I had never heard of this game. While at a friend's house, they brought it out and absolute hilarity ensued. The content is original and definitely adult oriented. The judge draws a card, rolls the dice and selects the scenario on the card that goes with the coinciding number. You choose from the cards in your hand to make the situation worse and the person who drew the card picks the winner. The judge changes each turn. I would definitely play this game again with a group of friends.

Sounds like a cards against humanity clone... Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

The original edgy humor game.
Cards Against Humanity is the original game of edgy humor. You need to be with the right group of friends for this one though, as it can get pretty offensive. If you have ever been asked to remove yourself from a game of Apples to Apples, this is your kind of game. CAH is definitely NOT kid friendly, but it is a great game to enjoy someone laughs with a group of like minded (read depraved) friends.

The game runs until it's not fun any more. Exhausting
Better, cheaper, more fun games are available
Lets your most unpleasant 'friends' be their worst selves, will scare off your nice ones
So incredibly awkward and exhausting with people you don't intimately know or who fall into ANY minority group
I've not seen a single play group not collectively agree to completely ignore certain rubbish cards that come up again and again
Shock humour covers a damp squib of a game

Great gateway game for deck building (0 more)
Rulebook can be confusing (0 more)
Dominion is a great game. It was one of the first deck building games I played and got me into them. The rulebook is not well written in my opinion and can take a few rereads to understand. Teaching other people how to play, however is quite easy if youve played a few games yourself. The game is always different as you never use the same set of cards, its random which ones will be included in the game you play. This gives it a high replay value.
