Gamelyn Games Tiny Epic Tactics Deluxe Combat Board Game, 3D Terrain

Really good game, love when a nice game comes in a tiny box, and with this one is what you can get

Like the 3D terrain and enjoy the many characters to choose from. But most of all, the various game modes provide a lot of variations. The ‘control areas’ base game mode is best done with 3 or more players but the ‘kill opponents and capture a flag’ mode does well with any number. The solo game mode is very different but also enjoyably difficult.

This game is great and fun to play. I enjoy the expansion version. my family like the options to play as one large team , small teams or competitive. small and easy for travel and easy to learn.

Alliances were made and broken within the blink of an eye. As my small party dwindled, I saw a devious grin from my nine year old. "Let's Kill Daddy." The war raged on. Down went my wizard, then my rogue. I looked for hope, but there was none to be found. I was defeated by my kids... In Tiny Epic Tactics you are taking a band of adventurers across mountains, forests, villages and waterfalls, all in hopes to gain control and capture your opponents party. Each player starts with a Rogue, Wizard, Beast and Fighter, each with movement, melee attack and special abilities. The rogue shoots arrows. Some may do better shooting from the forest. Some may weaken a player. Wizards have magic with which they may be able to put a curse or heal nearby players. The beast is close combat and deals heavy damage, similar to a tank in a RPG. The fighter is balanced in arrows and melee. On a players turn they will work to either take control of the battlefield defined by three flags, or they will do what we did and just attack the snot out of each other. If all control spots are controlled, or a player loses all their party, game over. Then scoring will be based on the party members a player still has, the ones they captured, and the flags that they controlled. Components The meeples are cute and well made for their wooden pieces. What really is impressive is the art and the board itself. When you can take the small box that the components come in and turn it into a battlefield, you have made something unique. The expansion pieces are decent in design as well, but pop out a pit after putting them on the original pieces. They do add different setups which add to the replay-ability of the game. Another highlight is the mat that you can purchase. It helps to keep things organized. Our Family's Thoughts Abigail- it's fun and not too hard to learn. A neat design of how it all fits in the box. All of the different characters make it so you can play it different every time. I also appreciate how if you have less characters you get more advantages. Buy it. Beth- as the characters start disappearing, the battles become more intense and desperate. The pace picks up and remaining characters become stronger in their last stands. I enjoyed this part of the game. I found it difficult to focus on taking control of areas and I haven't tried a balista yet, but I'm sure those would be fun as I became more comfortable with game play. Game play with the 9 year old took a looong time, about 3 hours, due to indecision during turns. Maybe good to set time limits for turns if an issue or stress planning turns ahead of time to best of ability. Try it. Chris- This game works on different levels. Not only is there a competitive mode, there is a 2v2, solo and 2 player co-op that players can enjoy. There are chances of King-making in competitive mode, but it is worth the purchase. Buy it. Daniel- it is a fun family game. I love how it is fantasy with wizards and rogues. I like how it is big but fits in a small box. There are different ways to play it like co-op or co-op teams. The artwork on the cards is awesome. Buy it. Elijah- It was fun, me and daddy teamed up because Abigail was trying to attack me and Daniel was going to too. I killed Daniel's sorcerer and Abigail's swordsman. But daddy was not being a good partner so I killed him. I liked shooting arrows and killing people. Buy it. Our Family gives Tiny Epic Tactics 4.6 Arrows to the Knee out of 5.

My 7 year old son loves this game! Take away the tactics cards and this game is perfect for kids AND adults. I have refereed several play sessions between 7 year olds. This game is a hit. They love it. It’s also a game (that as an adult) I enjoy playing. The production quality, game play, and price make this game a must have. Get it!

kinda sucks

My son plays this game every day. Love that is has different playing modes (solo play for single player, individual against others, and team play). Great how it has less waste-Box used for game play and no wasted space in packaging

Fun game. Takes time to learn.

Le jeu est un peu plus dispendieux que les autres de la série des Tiny Epic mais alors: quel matériel! En fait, que ce soit au niveau gameplay ou composants, c'est un grand jeu. Je suis époustouflée par l'inventivité des créateurs, le matériel de qualité et les graphismes étant très importants pour moi. L'idée du plateau en 3D est très bonne. La carte en tissu -reversible en plus- peut déconcerter au début, mais c'est innovant! Moi j'aime bien. Ensuite vient le jeu en lui-même. Pour l'instant je joue en solo et bien il est bien difficile (et heureusement!) la victoire n'est pas à portée de main, en 7 tours (si on n'attrape pas d'ennemi c'est mort!) mais quel plaisir! A noter aussi la grande variété car les cartes personnages sont très nombreuses! Les mécaniques sont simples, mais il y a pas mal de détails à se rememorrer (le livre de règles fait 30 pages). C'est de la conquête de territoire à plusieurs, et gain de trophés en solo ou en coop. A plusieurs donc, cela promet de chouettes affrontements.

I like the game a lot, but you need longer to get into it and its not as intuitive as Tiny Epic Galaxies. On the other hand there are more possibilities and the tactic side of it is much larger which makes it more interesting if played more often - also with the many modes. Only thing I don't like so far are the solo-enemy cards for the solo-mode. They used the same pictures than for the normal game and in my opinion they don't look very "evil", so it doesn't fully give me an atmosphere. This is a bit unfortunate because the dungeons look so great and also the 3D landscape.

One of three Tiny Epic games we have from Gamelyn. We enjoy it both as fans of the Tiny Epic series and as people who enjoy games involving standard Dungeons & Dragons type characters. Also has solo, cooperative and competitive types of play so can be enjoyed in several different ways increasing replay-ability.

El juego es excelente y divertido. No le pongo 5 estrellas porque una pieza venía rota de fábrica pues la caja por fuera venía en perfectas condiciones pero una figurita de madera que venía por dentro tenía un brazo roto.

Um mini skirmish e um dos melhores da linha Tiny Epic. As cartas de personagem são bem variadas, com várias habilidades e as cartas de tática dão uma dinâmica maior no jogo. Excelentes componentes e o próprio insert serve de mapa.
