Attack On Titan DBG

[InfestedKerrigan]

Attack on Titan is a coop deck building game where the 1 to 5 players fight off man-eating, naked giants. If all the Walls fall, the Castle has been breached, and the players lose. Helping the trained soldiers along the way are Allies, Equipment, and Maneuver cards.  Locations can also be discovered that can benefit all players in that district.

There is a lot of discussion and planning at the beginning of the round, as the team decides which player is going first each round.  The coop is fun, and we beat the game.  Although, it felt a bit easy to me, but we also had a Hospital in play real early on, and that allowed us to soak wounds and get rid of them pretty quickly.  

The 3 of us enjoyed it, and look forward to playing again. I'm going to give the single player a go, which appears to be identical, just fewer archtitans in the deck.

I found it fun to Role Play my hand, and asking for help, rather than giving straight numbers. We haven't torn the rule book apart, yet, so don't know what they intended, but it makes it fun!

Best. Anime. Ever.* 

Glad to hear the card game is fun. Would like to know how you feel about it in another 10 or so games. I have lost interest in other card games with alarming rapidity (Ascension, Hearthstone). 

 

*with the possible exception of One Punch Man.

I play the [big bad swear word] out of Star Realms, and if my core group was more into PvP, I'd get Ascension.  Being CoOp, there isn't those hurt feelings over being ganged up on, or whatever. The exception I would note would be purchasing the cards into your deck. Each character favors certain builds, or card types. So when everyone keeps snatching up the cards you need, and not working to the strengths of their character, but being selfish and treating it like a PvP, it can get frustrating.  I played Magic, Star Wars, BattleTech, both DBZs, etc. I am able to shut off competitive playing for team playing to play these coop games with them, as they don't like PvP...but they won't shut off that attitude. Le sigh.

Anywho, I'll let you know as it goes. 

Cryptozoic also makes the Rick and Morty DBG. I hadn't been overtly interested in it until I realsed this and that they are the same engine. I can have the Sanchez family pop portals open under Titans? Sounds like a squanch time!

Just ran my first solo mission. Smiling Titan ate me after I killed two smaller titans.  Let's try this again!

We played 4 player at game night. We made it to the 3rd boss before we lost.  Rough! Pulling the hospital early in the game that first game made a world of difference!
