Fantasy Realms

Great little game

Played many times in a row due to it not taking too long but having a good level of difficulty. Card quality is decent and deck size is able to be riffled without any greif Fun game and very compact, enjoyed the two player variant which is all we have played. Lovely score card like old scrabble sets came with the game, very nice.

This is a great little expansion that adds a few twists to a great game. It was shipped from America as out of stock in the UK. It arrived well packed and promptly. Very happy.

Great game which can be played within 10 mins. Simple to pick up, but will take a whilst to understand the scoring, luckily I downloaded an app to help with that. Sold as you are trying to build your own Fantasy Realm, and the theme is there with the interactions between the cards but it mostly comes down to what points you can get. 8.5/10

One of the most interesting and innovative games around. Before you try it you think how is this possibly going to work or make sense. But it does, it comes together with simplicity but feels like the depth of a large game in just 10 minutes, and makes you want to try it again.

This is a lovely little game, although maybe not quite as lovely as some of the reviews. It's quick, it's surprisingly complex, and it's kinda mathsy, I like it!

Summary: Fantasy Realms by Bruce Glassco and produced by WizKids is a resource replacement card game for the entry-level crowd. The game seats three – six players, ages 14+, and the typical game runs about 20 minutes. While the rules say 14+, I believe that with a little adult help you could get down to 8+ for the age category for the game. On to the Dr Games’ Criteria … GO/NO GO Criterion • Complexity: (GO) it is the perfect level of complexity. Cards are combinations of: suit, bonuses, and penalties. Every player has seven cards. He or she has to decide to draw, take a faceup card, or discard one card. • Balanced: (GO ) . The game is perfectly balanced. The cards are randomly distributed. • Chance (GO) the chance level is appropriate. Anybody has a chance to win. The cards are randomly distributed, but logic and experience are helpful. • Clarity: (GO) the rules are very clear with nice examples, and there are two completes goring examples. • Reasonable Time: (GO) . The game ends. As soon as there are 10 cards face up. With six players, could be in less than five minutes. However, in 10 run-throughs of the game, the average game did last about 20 minutes. Bonus Criteria • Social: the game is lighthearted, and, although there are no special rules for socialization, the spirit of the game encourages it. • Unique/Interesting Mechanics: the combination of suits, events, bonuses, penalties is very innovative and encourages storytelling. • Informed: not so much with this game. • Rewards Throughout: return you potentially get closer to that killer hand, but scoring occurs at the end.

Il gioco mi è stato regalato per il mio compleanno e non poteva essermi fatto regalo migliore. Chiunque ami i giochi di carte con combo e forme di draft deve assolutamente provare questo capolavoro. Lo adoro!

Juego de cartas muy divertido, donde se hacen muchas decisiones en cada turno

Has quickly become a favorite quick game with friends. Definitely recommend using the Fantasy Realms app or web page for scoring
