Pixel Tactics Deluxe
45m - 45m
2 - 4 Players
Ages 12+
Hand management games are games with cards in them that reward players for playing the cards in certain sequences or groups. The optimal sequence/grouping may vary, depending on board position, cards held and cards played by opponents. Managing your hand means gaining the most value out of available cards under given circumstances. Cards often have multiple uses in the game, further obfuscating an "optimal" sequence.
Hand Management
Variable Player Powers is a mechanic that grants different abilities and/or paths to victory to the players.

Pixel Tactics the BigBox (tm) edition. Nice storage solution with some nice extra cards, some fun pretty stuff and some stuff that probably won't ever hit your table (looking at you, bases and common card decks thingie). Great way to complete your collection but only really something I'd recommend if you're already a fan. Due to price (compared to normal PT1-5 sets) I would NOT recommend this as a starting point to see whether or not you like Pixel Tactics.

2016-04-24 Initial Rating: N/A I love Pixel Tactics, but I haven’t played the deluxe edition. I hope to do it soon, but there are some things that bug me. First of all, I have been unable to find the rulebook online. Level 99 Games has some rulebooks on their website, but they are obsolete. In this day and age, not having access to the rulebook seem ludicrous. (The last online rulebook I could find was Pixel Tactics 3). Second, they changed a lot of core rules. I hate when publishers do this and Level99 do this often (besides Pixel Tactics, they changed BattleCON: War of Indines and NOIR: Deductive Mystery Game) so buying their games when they just come to the market seems like a bad idea. They will change it within the year and your game will become obsolete. I’m talking about core rules changes, if they just reworded the cards so they would be clearer I wouldn’t have an issue, but they change the core rules and that’s very disrespectful with the original backers, supporters and customers who bought the game in the first place. This deluxe edition, changes the amount of cards you can have in your hand, attack powers no longer exist so they don’t trigger “attack effects” and I’m sure there are other changes I haven’t seen yet (perhaps how traps work). The changes seem small and they are, but they have a huge impact in play and having two sets of rules is difficult when playing with other players who doesn’t know the updated rules. If you are going to change something, you can do it as an official variant when you release an expansion, but that’s not the case here. If I want to have all my Pixel Tactics updated, I would have to buy again the number 1 2, and 3 sets. Third, the deluxe edition comes with many new cards (chase leaders, bases, commons) but the rules to play with them are in effect only if you play in league mode, not casual mode. Furthermore they explain some of the cards in a small couple of paragraphs while the rulebook is many pages long. On the good side it does explain many ways (some new) to play the game. Bottom line, I’m disenchanted with any publisher who changes the core rules of its games. So far I have encountered this behavior with Level 99 Games and with Stonemaier Games (Viticulture has changed 3 times in 3 years and they also changed Euphoria :/). Current Rating: N/A [hr] 2016-10-31 Initial rating: 7.0 (October 2016) I finally played Pixel Tactics Deluxe. The game box works great to hold all the previously released sets, it even holds the sleeved cards without any issue :thumbsup:. I don’t know if it will hold the upcoming Megaman set but I think so as the box still has lots of room for cards. The deluxe edition comes with a comprehensive rulebook that adds many ways to play (a huge plus) but it also changed some previously established rules (a huge minus). Besides the great box, it also comes with 25 new heroes/leaders, with bases, common cards, dividers and chase leaders and that’s great! At this point, the replayability of the whole series is through the roof. I love the idea of mixing sets to change the game, many of my favorite games have this characteristic (Dungeon Twister, Dominion, Summoner Wars). I have only played with it once, so I still cannot comment about the power level of each card. It added traps, a mechanism that was new for me (I think Pixel tactics 4 added traps before but I haven’t played with it yet) and I really liked it. Having traps in play makes your opponent much more cautious, it is a physiological gambit that I love. The art continues to be good, I like pixel art. I feel bad that I played this edition first before playing Pixel tactics 3,4 and 5. I will make an effort to get those played in order, mainly to see how each set evolve and build upon the sets that came before. As with any other Pixel Tactics, the game is easy to teach (you can do in under 7 minutes), fun to play (every card has 5 different uses), has meaningful decisions, and it plays in about 35 minutes if both players know the game (1 hour with new players). Some matches can be longer than that if you can heal your leader a lot but that’s a minor issue for me. Bottom line, Pixel Tactics Deluxe is a good 2 player game with lots of depth and replayability. The deluxe box is very welcomed and I want to play the game again soon. A keeper in my game collection. Current Rating: 7.0 [b]Jgoyes´ Awards: [/b] [imageid=3231398inline]

They definitely have tons of options and depth, but the sheer number of possibilities is too much for us.
