Tiny Epic Defenders The Dark War Expansion Multiplayer Strategy Board Game for Family & Friends

First off, I love Tom at Dice Towers but his review of this game was not at all a fair one! He gave other games from this game company far better reviews that i felt was far worse. This game has it all. It is excellent as a co-op game. They did a fine job on the pcs and product over all. Players basically form a world and then pick a enemy. I found it much more fun to pick the epic enemy blindly so it became a surprise to everyone. I recommend not looking through the epic foes when you get the game. It really takes away from the surprise in fact don't even look at the dire enemies. When you draft the decks be sure to just add blindly the dire enemies at random instead of picking and then placing and then shuffling. The rules to this are super easy to understand and follow through. Setup is a breeze and if you are stuck just watch Rhado video on how to play through the game. One the things me and my game team loved to do with the game was every time we sat down to play we made sure that the epic enemies we have fought before are not in the next game so we don't draw the same enemy. This makes it exciting when we set down so we have no idea who we fight next. The game designer has a gold mine here for a game. They could potentially keep adding expansion packs with new dire enemies, treasure cards and skill cards. Btw you need to buy the expansion pack dark wars. I don't normally go for expansions to games but in this one its a huge bonus to have it. So if you buy it splurge and get dark-wars as well you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend this game.

Very high quality material, i'm impressed with what you get in such a small box. The characters you can choose from are awesome - each has their own special action. It's simple to set up and easy to learn. However, not easy to beat! I played this game with 2 other players, it was slow the first round but then it starts to pick up. The game play is a bit different, much of the strategy seems reactive. But I imagine that changes over time once you're familiar with the cards and overall game. I also played solo mode, which was super fun! All in all, great game, great replay ability and definitely challenging!

This expansion requires the original game to play. Adds SIGNIFICANT content to the original, to include a campaign mode, new victory conditions, friendly/hostile territories, and a bunch of other stuff. Biggest issue I had was set up with some of the new pieces. The wisdom tree, when assembled as the book shows, looks upside down, and the caravans are made a little wonky. Other than that everything else is amazing. All pieces can fit between the two boxes with caravans assembled.

When I first got the game I was struck by the small size of the box, but that is a large part of what made the game appealing to me. I wanted a game that was more portable than some of my other board games. The next thing that struck me was the beautiful artwork on the cards. All of the cards, even the back of the cards, look fantastic! Then there are the meeples. These aren't ordinary meeples, they have holes in the arms to insert weapons, shields, etc. These tiny insert-able artifacts aren't necessary for game play because you already have artifact cards, but they make the game more fun. And finally, the game plays really well with its solid and simple mechanics, and the difficulty is easily to scale.

I play a lot of board games. What's become important over time is that the game has rules that are simple enough to review and get back into it in a few minutes. This game is even better since the board itself is so simple along with set up that the rules almost don't even need to be read on second plays.

Wow! I did not expect this game to so good. Man it is fun. A great strategic co-op game for 1-4 players. This game has made into our weekly rotation and man it is so good that some nights we just play this all night long. Great game. Easy to learn, easy to setup, with lots of replayability. Highly recommend.

Not a huge fan of the game. Lots of cool pieces and cards but the gameplay is just a bit too boring to me. You feel like a fireman trying to put out fires at diff locations over and over. Not bad game but not for me. Not enough to do and could be skinned in any theme and work, fantasy setting doesn’t matter.

From a gameplay mechanics perspective, this expansion is excellent. It adds updated rules and actions that make the game feel even more high-stakes and really forces you to see every action as important. My only complaint is that the cardboard pieces can sometimes feel a bit gimmicky, but what it brings to the game is well worth it!

The original game is great but the expansion really opens it up and makes it a lot better.

Es un juego de mesa bueno y sencillo. La calidad de las cartas y el arte es decente. Los objetos de plástico son particularmente frágiles, a diferencia de aquellos de otros juegos de la línea Tiny Epic, lo cual es una desventaja. El juego tiene reglas sencillas y es fácil de establecer y de guardar, así como fácil de transportar. Las partidas son cortas. El juego es entretenido e ideal para jugadores principiantes o casuales del hobby.
