    • Auto Battling Deck Building Mayhem
An absolutely FANTASTIC game. Exactly what you would expect from an award winning game. Each turn you add 2 new cards to your deck (or in rare circumstances more). You also get to take out any number of cards. Then, you turn each deck loose on the others, tournament style. Seating takes some getting used to, even for seasoned gamers, but after one game, you have it down. Immediately after playing, I wanted to play it again, and again, and again, and again. My 10 and 11 year old were able to play with us with no issue. With multiple paths to victory, and a short play time, your strategy can be anything from maximum control to sit back and watch the cards fly. Just one caveat. If you're absolutely adverse to chaos in your games, probably not for you. If however, you love the idea of a rollicking good time with friends who don't take themselves too seriously, look no further. ... show more

    • Good beginner to moderate deck building game
This is an overall fun game with a plenty of replay value. If you don’t have much experience with deck building games you might have a little trouble getting started but once you get through a few rounds you should get the hang of it. That being said the instructions can be a little confusing and the examples a bit difficult to follow. It might be best to look up some videos to get you going. The materials are well made and the box lets you easily store everything. ... show more

I order this game because I saw it was produced by Z-Man games but after doing some research on the game I felt I wouldn't enjoy it when it arrived because of the overly simple mechanic. However a was quit surprised by the game and really enjoyed playing it with my family. The deck building wasn't overly complicated. It was a quick learn and very easy to help people get going on their first tournament before stepping away. The game has 2-8 people facing off in a tournament with two players competing against each other at the same time. This makes it a great game for larger groups cause more people doesn't exactly equal a longer game. I even played a 3 player game with a fourth player (grandma) who isn't experienced in board games just flipping cards for the robot. This worked really well for the person who didn't really want to learn the game but wanted to sit and enjoy the company with those who did want to play the game. I noticed what others found most confusing was the initial deck building. The draw 5 discard draw back up to 5 and choose your card phase. The drawing another 5 was what they found confusing. With first time players it might be easily and quicker to just have everyone only draw 5 cards and forget about the step to discard and draw more cards. When playing with people who don't fully understand how to deck build already then adding the extra discarding step while choosing cards was just confusing for most. However the card abilities for the most part where easy for players to understand without having to constantly ask for clarification. What I liked about the Game 1. Neoprene mats 2. Removable deck draw boxes 3. Box insert stores everything perfectly and room for sleeving most cards. 4. Player count doesn't effect game length because everyone plays in groups of two at the same time. 5. Each round doesn't take long. 6. Robot for odd number of players works fairly well. What I didn't Like 1. The "1" and "7" on the trophies looks too similar (see photo) 2. There is almost no iconography for card abilities. 3. Card stock is slightly cheaper 4. They made room for sleeving your cards. However you can't sleeve the full set of cards (see picture) 5. Set up is a little tedious if you switch our sets you use. 6. Dark and Light Player coloring isn't very clear at first. I had to explain this multiple times to people. 7. I personally don't like the card art and think the box cover art is fairly ugly. I don't mind the cartoony direction just don't love this style. This is more personal preference. Others might not mind. 8. Robot for odd number of players can be a bit too easy even if you level it up each round. Overall I do enjoy this game and can't wait to pull it out during those game nights when one or two more people showed up then expected. If you aren't switching card sets the set up is very very quick and easy. ... show more

    • Overall fun for the family
I have kids that are 11 and 10 and both of them were able to pickup and enjoy this game. It's not one we bring out a ton, but it's fun and different than a lot of other things we play.

    • A Fun Family Game!
This game is pretty easy to play. There are only a few pages of instructions and they have it broken down so you can get started quickly. If you are playing with people who have not played any kind of deck building game before, the Challengers game is a good one to start with. I love playing deck builder games, but they can be rather slow and boring due to waiting for everyone to take their turn and build their deck. I love that we are all picking cards and discarding at the same time as it really speeds up the game! You can also speed up the game even more by skipping the discard phase and just playing with whatever you draw, which is great for playing with younger kids. Once you have played a few rounds, you can zip through fairly quickly and keep everyone interested and engaged. I found that the mats were very helpful in making it clear who you were "challenging" and where you were rotating to next after a round. They are the most unique feature to the game. I love that there is room in the box to store everything. There are a lot of pieces, which can be a little daunting when you first open the box, but setup and cleanup goes pretty quickly. The cards bend easily and are kind of thin for a card game, but you can put them in sleeves or use an automatic card shuffler to keep them flat. The artwork for the game is full color and the characters on the cards are well illustrated and fun. Some of them are ridiculously silly, which makes them popular with the kids. I initially planned on playing this game solo, but did not really enjoy playing against myself, even with the robot option. This game is definitely better played with friends and family, especially if they are willing to get silly and have fun with it! My nephews had a blast playing and we had a tough time talking them into letting us take turns playing with them, too! ... show more

    • Great game HORRIBLE instructions
Get it. It's fast paced, fun, you don't have to break your head while playing and it's super whacky. However, it was tough to learn, we had to go through to like 2 hours of youtube videos. I know, maybe we are the problem, but I hope they give more DETAILED instructions. Awkay?
