Game Kings Reviews

Really happy with the game, and with the service. The magnetic pieces don't slide around unless it gets knocked or shaken very hard. I was excited to get the backgammon set, since I’ve had the chessboard version for 3 years and its held up really well. The hinges, and clasp are still good, but the face of the board has gotten a bit scratched over time. The chess pieces have the magnet wedged in the bottom, but the backgammon magnets are enclosed in the plastic, so I hope that means less scrat...

A very cool game - even if you don't particularly like cats. Card drafting and the tetris elements clinched this for me. I have only played 2-player with my 9 year old daughter so far, and the game flowed for us pretty quickly, and was reasonably easy to learn. My only 'meh' was the rulebook, which was a little confusing, and our first game made apparent a few minor things we'd missed. The mere fact that the rulebook contains a FAQ section is a clue that it might not be as comprehensive or cle...

This was my second pick of all the expansions but I have to say after playing from it, it's such a good set of characters! Ratigan brings a really unique and fun winning objective to his game with a plan B feel to it when his primary objective starts to go south. Yzma is also very unique and fun to play with the way her fate deck is split into FOUR DECKS and true to the movie the gameplay is fun and (forgive me) zany. Finally the cover character scar, also true to his movie you must use the hyen...

If you want a game that is fun to play, spans generations, makes you think and doesn't involve losing life or attacking each other then boy howdy have you found it in Disneys villainous! Every character wins and loses differently so if you choose a different character each time you play you'll have a different experience. The concept has been apart of games for a while now mostly seen in console or pc games in my experience. Villainous has absolutely nailed it in tabletop game form. Playtime is ...

I really enjoy Root, it amazes me that four distinct games can mesh together so well in a single package. I'm a fan of are control and unique player powers and Root really takes it to the next level. I'm going to have to keep an eye out for the expansions because every time I play this game once, people want to play it again. The challenge of mastering a faction and then the other three factions is a real incentive to keep getting the game to table. What's more it's a gorgeous game with appealin...

I've been gaming for 40+ years and have played hundreds of different games with a heavy bent towards wargames and euros. Root is a superb game, the mechanics are novel, the assymetry is a real change from most Euros and makes for infinite replayability and challenges, the rules are very well thought out and the layout of the player boards makes what could be a relatively complex game, really streamlined. Excellent components and art enrich the already strong thematics built into the various fac...
