While the "building the sword" gimmick to the game is pretty engaging and clever, the overall drafting mechanic is pretty lackluster and not all too creative.

Game designer here. Swordcrafters packs a surprising amount of strategy into a tight game that's quick to learn. It rewards players that can think ahead in 3D to assemble your sword, yet can stay competitive with resource acquisition. The set collection is the core, the splitting mechanic is a unique take on resource division and drafting, and the sword building is just straight fun and imaginative. It can be played competitively ages 6-8+ or even just as a fun sword building exercise for kids 4+. Going by the ratings system provided on BGG, I will always enjoy playing! I'm even making a jumbo version in my garage for Gen Con 2018!

Played a few different rounds of this with many different expansion modules - I'm surprised by how much of a brain burner this game is for how simple the gameplay is. I keep changing my strategy, and while it doesn't always work, it's always satisfying to try. I was also pretty shocked by how good the two-player is. This will definitely be making it to the table a lot, but be warned; if you're a competitive type, this game is going to kick that into overdrive. Very cutthroat with two players!
