This game is extremely fun and very rewarding to spend the time to win an epic battle.  I have played at each of the different levels and have a wide range of challenges.  Game play is fairly easy once you go thru the tutorial once, you will be playing like a champion.  Online play was a little more difficult, I had some problems connecting to other games and waiting for the necessary amount of players to join.  This would be my only complaint, since this was a little tedious at times.

My friend bought this game and it was so fun! The game is a little complicated at first and it's helpful to play with someone who knows how to play the game, but it ends up being very entertaining. It's not a long game and we played 3 rounds. The format of the box to hold the cards and pieces could be better done. It was hard to organize the cards, in my opinion.

I recommend this game for those who enjoy games and are looking for something new and fun.

I went back and forth trying to decide whether to buy this for my 5 year old daughter for easter because some of the reviews and the age recommendation suggested that it wouldn't be suitable for her age. I decided to buy it anyways however, thinking that if it was too hard for her I could always put it away and pull it back out down the road. I can't even tell you how glad I am that I bought this game and how much time we've spent playing it over the past couple of months! It took a game or two for her to understand what each card did, but once she figured it out boy was I in trouble... I've lost many games since!
We deviate from the directions ever so slightly to make it more age appropriate: you can discard number cards in one of three ways, a single number card, a pair or an equation. An equation would be for example, if you had a 2 card a 3 card and a 5 card, you could discard all three because 2+3=5. This concept is still slightly over her head so we don't use that as a discard option.
The nice thing about this game, as a parent, is that it's enjoyable to play as an adult as well. It's fun and complex enough to not be boring, but easy enough for a 5 year old to play as well.

I highly recommend this game!

Love this game! Lots of fun, eight rounds of three turns for each player. There's no dice rolling, just deciding where to send each "worker" (blue or red action piece) on the board. Collect your resources, spend them on barns, fences, feeding troughs, or new animals, and of course block your opponent. There are rules to keeping those critters that make it a puzzle sort of game, and then there is counting at the end to determine who gets the most points and wins the game. The number of animals is generally the top point value, but added "expansions" to your farm and more buildings can get more points too. A lot of fun and reminds one of Catan, though the boards are nothing alike. The pieces are either sturdy cardboard of a sort or little wooden pieces. My only complaint is that they should've made more tiles representing four of a kind animals and a few more wooden animal pieces, as my hubby and I regularly use up all the sheep and sometimes all the pig pieces in most of our games.
I highly recommend this game to anybody who likes a good challenging game.

My wife and I absolutely love this game! It is very easy to learn and play, but there is an opportunity for deep strategy. The concept is simple: collect cards and build trains to connect destinations using those matching cards. You can choose to connect the destinations that will give you the most points, choose the routes that give you the most points, or try and block your opponent from reaching their destinations. This game can be learned in a matter of minutes and is very fun to play over and over again. The game board and parts are made of quality materials and I expect this game to last for a long time.

Definitely recommend this game. We play with 2 people, but it is fun with more as well!

We love this game!  Our children love it, and we as parents love it because they have to be active to play it.  Just played it with a group of about 30 people (adults and children).  We were all laughing and giggling - so much fun!  Graphics may not be the best, but we don't care because it's so much fun to play. It's challenging, great for building coordination and encouraging players to be active, and most importantly to us, providing a fun activity to do as a family. Perfect for bad weather days too!  We love it!

This is an absolutely fantastic game. Hands down one of the highest replay value out there among board games. Best thing is, my wife and I can go at it, as even with two players, it makes for quite a fun challenging game. Add more players, and strategies change. Play with 4 players and you're in for a great time. This is one of the go to games for board game night.

Change the way tiles are drawn (draw three tiles to make your hand that only you can see, then play draw one and play one as normal), and it changes the dynamics as there is more strategy than luck involved.

All in all, don' hesitate. Fantastic game for those wintry nights (or at the beach or just about anywhere with a table)!!!

We love  this came.  You can play two people or more. If more than two you play teams.
It's more fun to play four or more people.

Easy  and challenging.  Just  love  it.
We are game people.  I have lots  of games.
This one is in my top five favorites.  Highly  recommend.!

My son and I fight over who's going to get to play the game first... it's a lot of fun.  But keep in mind, this game isn't an easy win... your character gets killed a LOT at first... but it gets easier as you go along, and once you figure out your strategy it's a breeze.  You play magical tunes to call forth creatures to help you thru tough spots, and once you get about 1/2 way thru, the creatures you call can really make a difference on the outcome of the game.  Play the right tunes to call forth the right players, and winning is a BREEZE!!!  And search EVERYWHERE... you can find some great weapon upgrades and lucky tokens to make winning even easier.  Now that I'm 1/2 way thru, my character hardly ever dies.

I am a long retired invalid.  this game is a lot of fun.  I got tired of playing solitaire and decided to get something my granddaughters would like.  and I have to say I haven't had this much for a long time.  levels of play to keep away boredom, too!!!!!!

Really enjoyed this game. I didn't want the game to end. It's not just a seek and find game mostly of how to solve, put stuff to together to get e certain item. The puzzels are challenging, but a good challenge. I look forward to the next one.

This game is definitely a winner! I highly recommend it to any gamers! I have taught it to gamers and non-gamers alike, and both have enjoyed this game a lot. The non-gamers wanted to play it several times over at least before I could convince them to try other games, but that is always the sign of a good game! Great theme, great mechanics, great fun to be had in this game!

Pros: Fun game, unique gameplay, super-thematic, once learned relatively fast play, lots of replay value, simple gameplay once the game gets going, plays up to 6 people pretty well, FUN GAME!!

Cons: fairly long set-up, can be a lot to take in for new players (intimidating), skill tokens could be better (have to look up every skill), the game has lots of bits (small parts)

Recommendations: I used little solo containers to hold all the different bits in the game, which helped a lot. I also printed out 6 player-aides to help with skill reference, and to help new players with possible turn actions. If possible, I will try to make little cards with each skill and the description on them to make the skill reference easier.

I love this game! My two boys, 7 & 5 years old, love this game! If you are looking for a game that is fun for family, friends, or anybody that has even thought about playing board games this is it. There is nothing negative about the game. It has it all: easy to understand- check,  monsters fighting monsters- check, dice-check, fast-paced- check, beautiful artwork- check, more fun than you can handle- double check! If you are reading these just scroll back up & "add to cart", you will not regret the decision.

This game is so much better than Brain Age, which I got tired of within the first couple of weeks.  This game continues to keep me entertained with a great number and variety of games, as well as the ability to keep unlocking new ones to add to the  mix.  I also like the different categories of Stress Testing vs. Brain Testing, it just doubles the amount of games that there are to play.  This game is really fun, I have a hard time putting it down!
