“Hex and Counter Done RIght”

This is a simple operational game on the eastern front that gives both sides opportunities to defend and attack as well as take chances with the chit pull activation system. It has an epic feel that puts you in charge of the overall theater commander. My one complaint is that it needs a reprint with larger counters. It was created by the now highly regarded Japanese designer Tetsuya Nakamura, who most recently designed Traces of War on the same theater by VUCA Simulations.

“The Best Social Game for Large Friend Groups”

If you know your friends and you know their persuasion skills, this is the game for you. A murder-mystery at the dinner table and just an overall fantastic experience that you can pick up for less than $10 most of the time!
Best for groups too that like to get into costume for game night as well, My group is one of those and it just adds to the experience. I don’t know what else to say, play it!

“FUN!!! (in 5 players and with different setup of cards)”

The most Fun Setup: 5 players: King, Queen, Judge, Witch and Thief&Fool (instead of recommended Bishop and Cheat setup). Tried all the combinations to this game, and with different players/people and with different number of players (from 2 to 13). The best and most fun setup is not what the game suggests, for 5 players, but the above mentioned. And exactly 5 players and these 6 cards. It should be better rated, for how much fun it is, with different setups than the game suggests in the manual…

“This one wasn't for me”

I don’t think that this game is necessarily bad or poorly made; I just don’t really like this style of game. It’s not that the subject matter turned me off; I actually quite like its steampunk mech aesthetic. It’s too long for me and just failed to engage me with its gameplay.

There are quite a few rules to familiarize yourself with, and the action boards could be clearer about the results and costs of the various actions on them (without having to refer to the rulebook constantly). In addition, I found that most of the times I have played, this led to all sides just turtling up and gathering resources until victory (actually that was me, mostly — the opponent seemed pretty content to aggressively, albeit fruitlessly, attack…), making for rather monotonous gameplay.

All in all, while I think some people could definitely enjoy this game, it just wasn’t for me.

“Excellent dungeon crawler ”

If you love games like Descent you will enjoy Star Wars Imperial Assault. It improves on Descent in many ways. Many of your favorite characters from the Star Wars Universe are here. Combat and skill tests are resolved with customized dice, simple movement and line of sight rules. Each character will have thier own unique powers and flavor, skill card upgrades ect. You can play this with a GM like Descent or with the aid of an app to control enemy ai. The missions are challenging and win or losses have some impact.
