HEAP Game Review

Card Games, Privateer Press Comments Off

Aug 072012

HEAP is the new card Game from Privateer Press. It is a Bodgers Game.

The box contains part cards, vehicles, reference cards, and the instigator card. It also includes the rule book.

The Goal of HEAP is to be the first to add three parts to each of your vehicles. Once achieved all players participate in the Pile Up for a final decisive victory.

I will have to admit when I was reading the rules I thought this game was going to be awful. I was wrong. The rules are hard to follow if you don’t try and play the game while reading them. That is because it is difficult to process all the information that is given to you as fast as you can read.

Doctor Who Card Game

$ 29.99

Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans – The list of threats is endless and no place in the universe is ever truly safe from danger, but there is one man who has made it his mission to defend the defenseless, help the helpless, and save everyone he can: a mysterious stranger, a force of nature who has seen his own planet die, a madman with a box. In Doctor Who: The Card Game, players act as the Doctor and his companions to defend specific locations while sending the Doctor’s enemies to conquer locations your opponents are trying to protect. Each player starts the game with one location, and cards in the deck consist of attackers, defenders, locations and support cards. To start a turn, you draw two cards, pick up any cards banked from a previous turn, and take the three cards passed to you earlier by the player on your left. You play or bank cards until you have only three in hand, then pass those to the player on your right and end your turn. Attackers target specific locations and earn points for the player wielding them if they’re in play at the end of the game. Defenders try to remove attackers so that the location owner scores points for protecting the location. Support cards provide different abilities, such as enlarging your bank or providing time points (which can be used to draw additional cards). Whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins!

The Zombies!!! Card Game

$19.99 SRP

You are so tired. You just can’t run anymore. Your breath sounds like a jet engine and sweat has soaked every inch of your body. A shower would be nice. Hell, just being able to catch your breath would be great… Who are we kidding? Ten whole minutes not completely enveloped in sheer terror would be heaven. To bad the zombie horde looking to make you lunch doesn’t see it the same way…

The Zombies!!! Card Game simulates the coming zombie apocalypse in card game form. Each player uses their own deck to form the narrative of their attempted escape. The first player to make their way to the “helipad” at the bottom of their deck escapes certain death and wins the game.

The ground-breaking card design allows for each card to be used for the card effect printed on the front or as a location as indicated by the card’s back.

Zombies!!!: The Card Game features 104 intensely illustrated cards, a six-sided die and complete rules.

The zombies are right behind you. Do you have what it takes to survive?
