Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. Deluxe version comes with painted minis - lukewarm DT review even though it was on Sam's most anticipated list (medium weight per Tom unlike most dudes on a map which are light or heavy)

  2. 7.5 out of 10

    Cool, fairly straightforward DOAM. I like how different the various giant tribes feel, each having different goals and parts of the map they want to get toward. The large miniatures do a pretty good job of conveying these large creatures having territorial disputes, with smaller races caught in the crossfire. Pacing can feel a little slow between the battle phases and how cards come out, but the game actually wraps up fairly quickly. Art could be better (it's D&D, I get it game!) but the component quality is pretty good. A little better than I expected to be honest, solid game.

  3. 8 out of 10

    Love this game with 3 or more, I don't understand some of the reviews, one in particular that slaughtered the game. I did wonder if they were just playing a different game. If you play with 2 which is possible this is about a 6.5. You can play it but it is not as engaging. Otherwise a very enjoyable and thematic area control game with some great card play.

Description from the publisher:

Based on the story first presented in the Storm King’s Thunder adventure from Dungeons & Dragons, Assault of the Giants is a new board game designed by Andrew Parks for 3-6 players. Players will need to command armies of giants as they wage war throughout northwest Faerûn. Order your giants to assault small folk villages and cities to score points and secure resources including food, artifacts, ore, and runes.

Each player issues commands to their giants in the form of command cards (recruit, move, attack, pillage, and so on). This allows players to recruit new giants, send them out to attack settlements and other giants, and also to pursue special agendas based upon their race. Each player represents a different giant race (hill giants, stone giants, frost giants, fire giants, cloud giants, or storm giants), each with a different agenda. For example, the Storm Giants seek to restore their lost monarch, King Hekaton. The Cloud Giants seek an ancient dragon treasure trove, and the Hill Giants seek an abundance of food with which to feed their massive monarch, Chief Guh.

Contents include 12 Giants miniatures, injection molded in color, measuring from approximately 60mm to over 90mm in height, and three Giantslayers.
