Nightfall review

Nightfall is a fast-paced deck-building game that's a lot of fun. The theme is pretty cool - it's set in a world where vampires, werewolves, and ghouls have taken over after the sun disappears. It's a pretty unique premise that I really liked. I'm a big fan of deck-building games in general, and this one is definitely one of the better ones I've played.

The game is easy to learn, but there's definitely a lot of depth to the strategy. I really enjoy the chaining mechanic, where you can play cards that link together in a chain. This makes the game feel really dynamic and interactive, since you're constantly trying to outwit your opponents.

The game is also very replayable. There are so many different card combinations that you can use to create different strategies. The drafting system is also a nice touch, since it allows you to customize your deck a bit more.

I do have a few minor gripes, though. Some of the card text can be a bit ambiguous, so it's helpful to have the rulebook handy or to look up rules online. Also, the game does have some political elements, which can be a little frustrating if you're not into that sort of thing. But overall, I really enjoy Nightfall and I think it's a great addition to any board game collection. It's definitely a game that I'll be playing with my friends for a long time to come.
