Satisfying pull back and flick knocking pieces off the board (3 more)

Fun to upgrade when you knock other pieces off.

They have the engine built of a great little game, they just need to add more to the boards, and eliminate some "loop holes" which can lead to insta-kills.

Looking forward to more content

I don't feel like I'm playing against people.... more like bots with people names (1 more)

There is a chance of a first shot kill, which means the other player doesn't get a turn.

This Game is more fun than it should be, but it needs much more to it....

So it looks fun; I'll download it and try it is my manta..... this one fit the bill... you and an opponent face off flicking your pieces at each other trying to knock the other persons king off the board. there are moving blocks and wall behind that you have to navigate. Sometimes the blocks move easily and all off the board, and other times you have to hit them a number of times to get them to move. There seems to be about 12 or so different boards. I'm up to level 43, but the opponents don't seem to get better.... which I think maybe I'm playing a bot, and it's just giving hem different names. That said, it's still a perfect "Zen Out" game, you kinda care, and there is strategy, like playing billiards with combo shots and such. But you also don't really care of something goes wrong, and it's very satisfying when you pull off the trick shot. There's also the chance to upgrade your pieces when that piece knocks another off the board and that is satisfying as well. Sometimes I just play to eliminate every other piece before I take the king. You can also earn different colored pieces as you progress up the levels. There is also a section which isn't finished and says coming soon, which leads me to believe it's got more up it's sleeve.... I'd hope so.

Good quality cards

I wish there were more player options that came with the game.

Fun and simple with a cool concept.

I received this game through a giveaway here on smashbomb I was really excited to try it out at first but I hit a bit of a snag because I didn't realize just how many people it took to play the game it's recommended 7 to 35 players usually for game nights there's about five of us but once we were able to play the game it was really fun and simple everyone had a blast and honestly we didn't want to stop playing had to finally call it quits when it just got too late. Since it is just a deck of cards it's easy to take around and bring with you to group gatherings and parties it has a set of rules on one of the cards or it gives you a web address to look up the rules on your phone which is really handy. The cards are thick and well-made the artwork is clean and simple we all really enjoyed that they give you options to make your own characters along with their own set of rules but honestly trying to come up with stuff spur-of-the-moment was a little hard. we all enjoyed the witch card a lot really tested a couple friendships there. The length of the game really just depends on how many people you have playing the most we played with was 8 so the game was good length that gave us time to play a couple rounds. But we all really would like to try and play with the most amount just haven't been able to get that many people into it though hopefully sometime soon.

Thanks again for giving me the chance to win and play this game.

I, like many people my age, spent a good chunk of their childhood playing through Pokémon Blue and Red on the Nintendo Game Boy, and then not long after, Pokémon Yellow.
These games took the world by storm and it was easy to see the way. An top down adventure game, with light RPG elements, and the satisfaction of collecting different creatures, whilst the games tag line urged you to 'catch 'em all', it was a set of games that were enjoyed by adults and children alike.

All these years later, Pokémon Yellow has been given a new lick of paint, and re released as Let's Go Pikachu (or Eevee if you prefer).
It's the same in nearly everyway, just with modern graphics, and it's just great.
Firstly, seeing all of these beloved characters in full shiny 3D graphics is pretty special.
The game retains all of the simple camera angles and vibrant colour palette, and it really works.
The game mechanics are identical as well. It's a simple game to get used to, and one that takes a lot longer to master.
The music is also given update, but all the classic score is intact. This 'if it ain't broke' approach that has been applied works wonders, much like the recent Crash Bandicoot and Spyro re releases.

The Nintendo Switch format allows the player to dock the console, meaning that you can play Let's Go through a TV and turns the controller into a Wii style remote, enabling you to 'throw' Pokéballs if that's your style, or you can opt for a classic handheld approach.
Another feature allows you to import Pokémon from the Pokémon Go app, which is a nice touch

With games like Breath of the Wild showing off just what the Switch can do in terms of huge beautiful looking maps, im longing for a proper open world Pokémon game at some point, but Let's Go is a nostalgia filled and fun stop gap that will steal hours and hours of your time.

Great Components (3 more)

Expandable

Plays a decent group size

Replayability

If you punch out all the monster tokens the first time you play, it's hard to find the ones you need later in future games. (1 more)

Play Time can be long depending on the haunt you get.

You never know what to quite expect

Players: 3-6 This is a great group size. I always welcome games that support 5-6 because we always seem to have that 1 extra player we were not expecting to show up.
Expansions: This game already has one expansion called Widows Walk. It adds a roof floor to the game as well as new cards of all three types, and as you may imagine a whole new set of haunts to play.
Replayability: The game has 50 haunts or so in the base game and with widows Walk it adds a bunch more. The game can be played over and over and based on the tiles in the house and the haunt that is played, your experience is almost never going to be the same twice.
Components: The cards are all really nice as well as the tiles for the rooms. The trackers for the characters could be better but they actually already made an upgrade pack for that so problem solved. My only gripe is that the doorways are all highlighted in a specific color but the windows are not. There are several rules that require you to be in a room with a window but they are not highlighted like the rooms with doorways. This could have easily been fixed before launching the game. Also, the symbols for the cards are hard to read on the yellow artworked rooms. In blends right in the background on them and I always have to point out that there is in fact a symbol for a card on those rooms.
