Sho-Riu

It’s huge, another great addition to Shadows of Brimstone. Super detailed. A bit challenging to assemble but a great look.

Great price for a big game

Beautiful cards

The instructions are a bit confusing in English but was able to figure out eventually. Interesting game play and pretty butterfly cards

No potion for Obelix

This game is awesome! I’ll start by saying I'm a huge Obelix fan, so that probably added a few bias points right there. While this is a battle card game, it doesn't feel like a typical battle line game—which is great, because aside from Riftforce, we usually don’t enjoy that genre. What makes Asterix & Co. unique is that you are normally battling for both the Gauls and the Romans at the same time.

Each player competes over shared "album" cards (themed after the comic book covers). Your hand consists of Gauls, Romans, and neutral characters. Typically, an album features a Gaul side and a Roman side, though occasionally both sides match. You play cards to the correct team, and the first to reach 15 points wins that album. The real fun comes from the unique card powers that allow you to manipulate the state of the board. It’s incredibly easy to learn, and if you like card games and the Asterix universe, you’ll love it.

I don't have anything negative to say about the game, though we plan to house-rule the 2-player mode to play to 75 points instead of the recommended 50.

I think this game would be at it's best with three players as everyone would have one direct competition with the other players. If you played at four there would always be one player you were not playing against. I think the only reason that two does not shine is because the more albums out there the more cards that are being played and the more cards being played the more change you have to "steal" or use a character that is already out in the field battling. Also the more battles going on the more a a chance you can't use your hero that's in your deck as only one hero of that type is allowed out at a time; while that sounds like a negative I think it's a fun way to "block" others.

It’s good very good at start but a little repetitive as it goes great game tho
