You may want to give them an icon reference sheet, as well: And wouldn’t you know? Your opponents are all too happy to oblige…ĭeal each player 8. But be careful! Your best friends will always stand by you, but these neighborhood kids are fickle if you forget to play with them because you’re focused on this fort of yours, they may well find their way to another person who is willing to treat them with respect. Naturally, you’re competing against your rivals to build up these forts, so you may need to recruit even more kids to your cause. You’ve got your best friends, of course, but you’ve also recruited local kids to your cause with two things that are irresistible to up-and-coming builder children: toys and pizza. In Fort, you play as kids trying to build the best fort in town. What I’d read the rest of this review for is the normal setup and gameplay, but also some thoughts about what makes it different from SPQF, and why I think those changes are by and large for the better. Either way, let’s be real here: this is an update and upgrade to a game that I just referred to as my “favorite standalone deckbuilder” if you’re looking for a harshly negative review, I’ll freely admit in the opening paragraph (a rarity!) that I really loved getting to play Fort. We’ll have to see, though, what they do next will this lead to more smaller-box titles? I’m not sure. It’s a great fit for them, though I’ll admit it’s a bit outside their Root and Vast pedigree, until you consider the asymmetry of possible playstyles available to you in Fort, then I think it makes more sense with their brand overall. But what company would want to pick up what is likely my favorite standalone deckbuilder? Oh, Leder would. Heard rumors on the wind that maybe, just possibly, SPQF was going to see new life. I’ve been waiting for this game for a long time. Full disclosure: A review copy of Fort was provided by Leder Games.
