Apples to Apples Blank Cards Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok, first of all, I'm going to assume you know the game. Great, lots of fun, etc, etc. These cards allow you to add your own things, like family member names, pets, animals, places, cities, and so on - which are not normally listed
With this product; (8 green, 32 red)
8 cards per sheet, 1 sheet of green, 4 of red
Look just like the actual cards, and they provide a website for templates to print them
Cards are slightly thinner, or not as stiff as regular cards, and of course, one side is not protected. I used that sticky film for protecting paper/laminate. Heck, I would like them to last, keep them clean from ink smear or dirt from hands.
Keep in mind, most printer ink is water soluble, if you don't know, wet your finger (not moist, wet), and draw across a print from your printer. Water based will smear (HP ink), others will not (Epson ink).

Pirate Versus Pirate - The Swashbucklin' Game of Swords and Rewaaarrrds Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pirate versus Pirate seemed like an odd game at first, especially since it supported three players and the playing board was a triangular surface.
Overall, the rules were very straight forward. Grab a coin and get it back to your boat, or take out all the other pirates. The game play ends requires a bit of strategy and a balance of offense versus defense, but overall the game is relativley quick and fun.
The game is *not* slated for under the age of like 8; however, I play it with my two five year olds. The game helps then with counting and basic (checkers level) strategy. They completely enjoy the game and actually have fun with it. Of course, strategy isn't as much a part of playing with 5 year olds, but learning counting and movement is. Additionally, sequency is also learned because you can't move a coin into your boat until you move other pirates out of the boat and out of the way!
When playing with older people, the game steps up to a different level. In that case, you have to think similarly to games like checkers. You have to go for the goal while still watching for your own pirates.
The reality is that this game is determined as much by the random roll of the dice (2 four sided dice) as anything; however, randomness has always been a part of gaming. In this case, it is the randomness that makes the game interesting--that combined with decisions such as whether to grab a coin and run, or take out an opponent's pirate!
The game is fun, and that is what counts.

Ninja Versus Ninja Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are several other two player games that are "better" than Ninja vs. Ninja. However, there are very few such games that can be played as quickly or have such nice components.
Ninja vs. Ninja is a game where players try to score points by infiltrating the other side's dojo. The deeper they can get into the dojo the more points they score and the first to seven points wins. However, sneaking around is not the only way to win the game, if one player successfully captures all of the other side's ninjas then that also means victory.
The game features to mechanics that make it fun. The first is a mix of luck and strategy. On a player's turn they roll two dice and they move a ninja that many spaces. The ninja can only move in straight lines or "L" shapes. How a player moves and positions a ninja is important, but even the best laid strategy is tied to the luck of the dice rolls, which means players have to adjust and reevaluate their strategy every turn to make the most of their luck. This means the game will not appeal much to Chess fans, but to people who don't mind a bit of luck in games this game hits a nice mix of luck and strategy. The second mechanic, is the the ability for a player to push their luck. Once a ninja crosses a middle region of the board, then it has three turns to make it back to their dojo. The deeper a ninja goes into enemy territory the harder it will be to make it back, but the higher the points. This high risk/ high reward factor, while simple is very enjoyable and adds a lot to the game.
Technically, Ninja vs Ninja could be played with checkers and a couple of pyramid shaped four sided dice. However, the components of the cute ninjas and the dice with swords through them really adds a lot to the game. Ninja vs. Ninja is a light, fun game and the components really reinforce that.
A game of Ninja vs. Ninja will take between five and ten minutes to play and only a couple of minutes to teach. The ease of the rules, quick play time, and cute factor make this game very accessible to a wide range of people.
