Tiny Epic Mechs Deluxe Combat Board Game, 1-4 Players

First off, I want to acknowledge Gamelyn Games; they seem to be very good boardgame designers. My favorite part about their "Tiny Epic" series are the boxes. All the pieces are small so they are affordable but they come with enough to make them worthy of $50+ dollars instead of the $25 they actually go for. Every time I put the games away I think to myself, "Wow... Did all that really fit into this box??" I am very happy with this purchase and here are my opinions on it: Pros: --convenient box size and price --very neat artwork, I love the way Tsunami looks with his armor. --cool character abilities, so far "Kitty" is my favorite, I like how she can change the direction you're moving to escape unwanted conflict and to fix accidental directions. --awesome combat --huge selection of weapons, my favorite Is the rocket battery. It really packs a punch but you have to carefully plan it because it also damages you! Cons: To me, there is only one; I feel that the characters should have had varied hit points. Don't get me wrong, giving all characters 6 hit points makes them more easily selected, I just feel that it would have had a more unique feeling if some characters had lower HP while other had higher. In the end I give replay ability a 7 Gameplay a 10 Characters an 8 movement a 9 and weapons a 10 Overall I give it 88% in satisfaction. Thank you Gamelyn Games for making such a great game!

This is my family's favorite board game from the EPIC series. An unbelieveable deep and fleshed out PVP board game. Lots of lovely details from the figures to the individual weapons. You will need LOTS of table space to hold all the game features. A few minor trade offs, first is the rule set takes time to learn, there are a LOT of mechanics, probably take 1-2 matches just to get a feel for the game. Plan additional time per match as well when starting out. Lots of fun with this game!

I bough this game due to the solo rules and I have been enjoying it. The game is medium complexity but very smooth gameplay. During programming phase played try to outsmart each other’s preprogrammed four moves ahead and turns start by each player activating their chosen move trying to score more victory points than others. Your actions can range from moving and collecting energy or credits, purchasing basic or advance weapons, laying mines or something placing turrets all in the hopes of k.o. Other players. The game components are high quality and the item meeple are very cute and add another visual component to the game. The fact that each meeple has a power mech suit and you can gran the mega mech that lies at the center waiting is very fun. The only down side I can see is the combat. It is very determined with no counter and your attacks can be followed by an enemies who may trump your card and deal a more powerful blow. This is where I don’t like it. Since the compact doesn’t flow like the turns, that is preprogrammed, the players can look at your weapons and buy others to trump them. And since they get to choose freely which one to use at each given time it can be very detrimental. You get victory points for every point of damage you deal in combat. But you get more for every turret or mine or area you control, which highly discourages combat in favor of placing turrets and mines. Still is highly enjoyable and if you house rules the combat you can make it more even and random. Fund to play solo or with out her players. A must if you like the tiny epic series.

Small package surprised me. I wasn't expecting much for the price but it's extremely well made. The cardstock looks like some kind of fabric weave and most of the pieces are some sort of hard wood. The games fairly complicated and takes a few games to get used to but using cards the make the board makes each game different and really seems to add to the replayability. Parts are legitimately tiny and can be difficult to handle. Overall it's a great game for the money.

My 10 year-old son and I play this game, along with Tiny Epic Galaxies, about 1-2 times a week. It's a great Sunday afternoon game. It does not appeal to my daughters, unfortunately. The robots and battles, and colorful artwork, really appeal to my son, and the boy in me. My son wins about 50% of the time so it's got a good learning curve and is very well balanced.

As a game, it's a lot of fun, not the best of the Tiny Epic games though. Only complaint I have is how many peices there are, they make the game cute, but don't add much mechanically. It's a relatively simple game, but we consistently need to look through the rulebook for clarification.

This is my second Tiny Epic game. Now I'm looking for my third. This is a creative, fun game with enough challenge to keep it interesting. Plenty of replayability. Random enough to level the playing field.

Having played Tiny Epic Galaxies (a lot!) and loving Mechs vs. Minions (another must buy!), I was intrigued by this. It certainly doesn't disappoint. The componoents are well-made, although finding which weapon is which can be confusing- they are tiny, after all! Gamplay is pretty strightforward- plan your moves and then watch the choas ensue. You only THINK you're avoiding your enemy. Battle is easy to understand, aside from the counter attack triangle which was a little confusing. Games can be played very quickly if you're not teaching new players, as it's only 6 rounds. I like the strategy of only scoring after rounds 2, 4 and 6 as it allows you to get some grinding done during odd rounds. Solo mode it great, but a little bit harder since the opponents start (and stay if KO'd) in their powered up state. This gives them the ability to immediately buy advanced weapons and come at you with 3 weapons off the bat. It DID get very lucky in my first solo play with them drawing the "no movement" option several times. Overall, this will be one of my top travel games!

Leider hat eine der Spielkarten gefehlt. Kann leider vorkommen. Bei Importware zwar ärgerlich aber ist halt so. Konnte mir selbst behelfen. Farbdrucker und Spielkartenhüllen sei Dank.

Muy divertido juego los itemeeples están muy bien

Great fun game. Easy to learn, and a nice game to play with my kids.

It's more complex than advertised. Still playable with older kids.

This game is easy and quick to learn, has fun little features like actual plastic weapon pieces to attach to your mini-figure to "equip" the items you earn through the gameplay, and is easy to pack along with you. I like that I can toss it in my purse to bring to the pub to play with friends, or easily stick it into a suitcase to bring along for a hotel stay with the family, but it's also been popular at home.
