![]() The game is fun until you die a horrible, painful, frustrating death. We set the game aside because the holidays came, but we do plan to go back to it. This made me feel a lot better about myself. Once we hit Archenemy Titan 2, causing our game to come to a rather abrupt end, I immediately recognized the reason my friend’s husband found the game frustrating. When I asked why, she LOL’d and told me that the game had beaten him. Since I posted before we got to Archenemy Titan 2, I had no idea what she meant when she told me that he said it was the worst game ever because of the Titans. When I posted on my Facebook that we were playing, a friend tagged her husband. Satisfying though killing other Titans might have felt, this sense of helplessness was not engendering fun for either of us. As I watched the two of us take our turns, I watched wall fall, wound card gathered, wall fall, wound card gathered, on repeat. Unfortunately, Archenemy Titan 2 basically just attacks walls and wounds people relentlessly early in the game. This means that every time you play, you’ll encounter them. Unlike other Titans, the Archenemy Titans will always filter through the game. We were moving along swimmingly.Īrchenemy Titan 2 is… well, there’s a string of four-letter, inappropriate-for-public-consumption epithets I might have hurled at him. ![]() My son and I both picked up on the rules and how to move our characters. The rules of Attack on Titan seemed confusing until I was in the middle of playing. I never understand the rules until I’ve mucked around a bit in the gameplay. I’m a do-er not a reader when it comes to games. The nice thing about Attack on Titan is that, as a cooperative game, lower age ranges can play as well with someone helping to explain the rules. This made the pre-play a bit frustrating.Ĭryptozoic notes that the age range is 15+. A few of these kinds of miscommunications are sprinkled throughout the directions. However, what they needed to do was inform you prior to this that there are starter cards that don’t get shuffled. The rulebook states at one point that you will take out the Titan cards and then tells you that the rest will be shuffled. Setting up the decks makes sense, but the cards to be used are confusing. The directions to setting up play are a bit confusing. As a Mikasa fan, I chose my favorite female hero. My son, now 7, quickly picked out Eren as his game piece. Unwrapping the box from the plastic wrapping, we slowly looked through the cards. When Cryptozoic offered a review copy of the game, we jumped at the chance. Thus began his fascination with the series. ![]() ![]() Precocious, he read some of the words and then began asking questions as Titans gobbled up people like Halloween candy. Well, in theory, at least.Īt 4, my son found, hidden in a couch cushion, a copy of the first volume of Attack on Titan. With the holidays over and cold weather setting in nationwide, Cryptozoic’s Attack on Titan deck-building game is a perfect way to unwind. ![]()
