Board Game Capital's Review:
(2018-09-18)
Right on the front of the game box we received was the printed phrase "Do not lose." We thought that was a little strange to instruct people to not lose your game. Then we realized that was the object of the game - to not lose. Now we get it. Game Of Kingdoms plays like other face card games where you'll need to put down a higher card to win. The game rules are similar but have a few twists and turns in it including the fact that you'll get all the cards if the Defender does not successfully beat all of the Attackers cards.
While the game was fun, we wouldn't say it's the most fun card game we've ever played. It's a good past time to play if you want something different and quick. There is a bit of strategy although sometimes the person that looks like they will lose ends up not losing in the end. Sometimes what you had in the earlier part of the game didn't really matter and all came down to your last hand.
The graphics on the cards were OK but very plain. Perhaps this is by design but we found them a bit boring. They served their purpose, but they wouldn't win any awards in the graphic design department. The cards are also not symmetric so you're constantly turning the cards around in your hand.
Built from decent quality cards, a nice tuck box and a fairly entertaining gaming experience, we'd recommend this game if you were looking for something new and simple to play. The price point seems about right, although you can get the main stream card games from your big box stores for much less. Honestly, you could play this game with regular face cards. The knight theme makes the gaming experience a little more dramatic and makes it feel not like just another face card game. Maybe enhanced graphics and a few more unique aspects to the game play would help boost the game up. Regardless of a few nit-picky things which are solely our opinion, it's a fun game.

I like the fact it seems a twist on the idea of winning instead of just avoiding losing. Also,the fact it is a quick game is good for family play. Thanks for sharing.
