Fantasy Realms

Fantasy Realms is a card game that's deceptively simple to learn but has surprising depth. It's all about building the best hand of seven cards, drawing and discarding one at a time. While the rules are easy to pick up, the scoring can be a bit tricky. There are so many different combinations of cards and bonuses that you'll be trying to figure out the best way to maximize your score. The game is also pretty quick, which is perfect for a filler game or a quick game night. I particularly like that the game is so easy to learn, even for non-gamers, and yet there's still plenty of strategy to keep everyone engaged. I also find it to be a very fun and addictive game, even after several play-throughs. I've even enjoyed playing it with my teenagers, which is a feat in itself! However, it does require some mental math, and I recommend having the scoring app handy to take the pressure off of the mental arithmetic.

The game does come with a scoring sheet, but it's still helpful to have a calculator nearby to help with the scoring. The scoring app is a huge time-saver, especially if you're playing with a larger group. I really like the game's artwork and the theme is fun and engaging.

Overall, I highly recommend Fantasy Realms to anyone looking for a quick and easy-to-learn card game with a surprising amount of strategy. It's a great game for a casual game night or for a more experienced group of gamers. The game also works well for a two-player game, which is a bonus!
