Kingdom Rush: Rift in Time

Kingdom Rush: Rift in Time is a tower defense board game that takes the popular mobile game and translates it well to the tabletop. The game is all about working together to defend your kingdom from the Time Mage's onslaught of enemies. You do this by placing towers, deploying soldiers, and strategically using polyomino pieces to attack your foes. The campaign is unique and challenging, with each new scenario introducing new enemies, events, and bosses. It's definitely a game that requires strategy and planning.

While the game is fun, it does have a few drawbacks. The learning curve can be steep, and there's a lot of setup involved. The components, while overall high-quality, could be better. The cardboard components tend to peel, and there's no storage for the damage tiles. However, the game itself is engaging and has a lot of replayability. The campaign alone has ten levels, and with the expansion you can get even more scenarios.

I've found that the game works best with experienced gamers who are willing to put in the time to learn the rules. It's not a casual game, but it is a rewarding one. If you're a fan of tower defense games and are looking for a challenging and strategic board game, Kingdom Rush: Rift in Time is definitely worth checking out. Just be prepared to spend some time learning the rules!
