They should have Play-Tested this...

Hey Guys, how are you doing?

Props to Asmadi Games for sending out The Playtest Series for me to check out! Well then, let's get right into the review shall we?

I want to let you guys know that i'm going to review all 4 games in the series in one review. This is due to the fact that, during my testing, all of the games had similar flaws and were all just extremely similar. Therefore, it would be extremely unrealistic, time consuming, and extremely boring for you guys to do 4 individual reviews.

Let's start with the boxes, they have the same sort of "glossy" finish as "Fisticuffs!" which I previously reviewed and that's one thing that I like about this entire series, they have really similar box design and all feature this finish. They all also feature a box lid that is slightly TOO small for the actual box, that may sound like it's no big deal, but you can even see in the photo on the Amazon product page that the sides of the box extend up, which makes for a terrible looking box, especially when you're carrying it around!

Now, actual gameplay is.....extremely disappointing. The game ends in mere seconds almost 100% of the time! There are SO MANY cards that say things like, "You Win", "The next player loses", or "Game Over, everyone dies". Gameplay is WAY TOO shallow for my personal tastes and I have NO IDEA how this game made enough money in order to justify making 3 SEQUELS! It is nice that they include expansion packs with most of the games in the series and it's small from factor makes it easy to carry around but, I don't think that even COMES CLOSE to justifying the $15 price tag per game.

Final Verdict - 3.5/10 For $15 each game, I expected SO MUCH MORE with this series. I would MUCH RATHER spend $5 more and buy "Fisticuffs!" which is an amazing game for the price.

Thanks for reading guys, i'll see you next week!
