G.I. JOE Deck-Building Game review

I've been a G.I. Joe fan since I was a kid, so I was really excited to try out this deck-building game. It's a lot of fun! The game is well-designed and captures the feel of the old G.I. Joe cartoons and toys. I love the artwork, especially the missions and Cobra commanders (except Major Bludd, his art is a bit meh). The game is really challenging, but that's part of what makes it so fun. I've played it over a dozen times and I'm still finding new ways to play. The mechanics are simple enough to learn, but there's a lot of strategy involved. I really like how you can recruit different Joes, get new gear, and field new vehicles. It's a great way to immerse yourself in the G.I. Joe universe.

I do have a couple of complaints. The rulebook is a bit confusing, and there are only two missions in the base game. Also, not all of the Joes are in the base game. But, I understand that there are expansions planned, which will add more Joes and missions. I'm definitely looking forward to those.

Overall, I highly recommend this game to any G.I. Joe fans. It's a great way to relive your childhood and have some fun with friends and family.
