Defenders of the Realm Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this game because i was into fantasy and having the players interact with each other. Not when 1 guy goes and then the other can wait and watch TV. So 1v1 or co-op games work great. Plus i heard lots of positive reviews about this game on boardgamegeek.
Basically the game is about stopping 4 generals from entering the main city and at the same time stop their massive amount of minions from spreading like a virus. Combat is simple against the minions since they are many, but the generals are another story.
Heroes you can choose from a very different and half the fun is trying the new heroes. Too bad theres only 7 or 8. There is no leveling process but you can do quests for some items or to draw more cards to help with transportation and defeating generals. This game felt like a puzzle/strategy game wrapped in a fantasy theme. Im sure many non-fans of fantasy or board games will get involved with this. Me and my friend were so involved with each others movements that we were planning several steps ahead. That kind of involvement is exactly what i was looking for.
Major gripe is that the all the minions are the same mold but just different colors. And the heroes are about 20mm. So for $50+ i was expecting better models. Good thing is the cards and materials are all very durable.
