Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. Drafting, tug of war game for two players where players compete over 3 spots for majority (mix between 7 Wonders and Battle Line). Like 7 Wonders, this game has a lot of iconography and comes with a separate player aid book. Good variability (a lot of different location cards). # Take-that # Some iconography to learn

  2. 5 out of 10

    Caper is an attractive game, but the gameplay is brutally cutthroat. Borrowing elements of Battle Line type games like Balloon Cup (Pinata), and Air, Land & Sea, Caper has you competing in three head-to-head heists. This is handled through hand-drafting, which is a new take for the genre and gives Caper a unique air. Hate drafting is essential, which I generally appreciate, but it feels a bit out of place here. Perhaps because there are also several impactful take-that elements which make Caper more erratic than dynamic. Additionally, the iconography is prolific and not intuitive enough to parse without repeated reference to two different booklets. Its quite a simple game, but poorly written rules, and persistent icon reference draw the game out to its detriment.

  3. 4 out of 10

    I love the art and look of the Keymaster printing: the sheer number of unique images is impressive and the production is top-notch. Unfortunately, I am not a big fan of the gameplay: I have already been tiring of drafting for a few years now, since it has a pretty high memory requirement. Add to this a lot of iconography that makes the game hard to learn and teach, and game falls a little more. Add to THAT some "take-that" cards and a heavy dose of area control (also two of my least favorite mechanisms), and the game just doesn't work for me at all. I can see why some people really like it, and there is a lot of replayablility here with all of the card and location combinations, but it's just not my thing.
