Hidden Leaders

Hidden Leaders is a charming little card game that really surprised me. I was drawn to its unique premise - six children vying for the throne of Oshra amidst a brewing conflict between factions - and I have to say, it delivered.

The game mechanics are simple to grasp, but the strategic depth is surprisingly engaging. You're constantly trying to deduce your opponents' allegiances and manipulate the board to favor your own faction. I particularly enjoyed the "tableau building" aspect, where you strategically place heroes to gain an advantage. The game has a great sense of tension, especially as the conflict between the factions escalates.

I found the artwork and character names delightful, adding a playful touch to the game. Hidden Leaders is a fast-paced game with minimal downtime, which makes it perfect for casual game nights or a quick break. While it's not the deepest strategy game out there, it's a fantastic choice for those who enjoy a lighter, more interactive card game experience.

Overall, I highly recommend Hidden Leaders if you're looking for a fun and engaging game with a unique twist. It's a great choice for families, casual gamers, and anyone looking for a game that's easy to learn but difficult to master.
