    I rather like Kyle Ferrin's art for this because it feels like pictures the kids might draw of each other. I was having a hard time getting the core concept until you described it as a pulled apart deck-builder. Now it makes more sense and I'll keep an eye out for this game. Great review!

    One of my favorites for its combination of depth, brevity, and a quickly changing board state. I LOVE the art. I also love your videos!

    Absolutely love this game! It's not perfect but is such an interesting take on deck building with the forced player interaction. Can't wait to teach it to more people!

    Good to see a rare shout out for 51st State! My flatmate has a copy, we love it and have been playing it regularly for several years now.

      The score sheet in root is really similar to 51st state, both getting to 25 points, and then i just couldnt stop thinking about how id rather be playing 51st state

    I've played this game a lot and I agree it can feel a bit disjointed early on but I think about 10 games in, once the games get a lot quicker and you've experienced all the different strategies, it gets deeper.
    Also, my friends and I all love most of the art and have spent a lot of time just flipping through the deck admiring it

    Mechanism salad loaded with icons is an interesting description that actually really fits quite a few games I've played! I can tell this one isn't for me either. Thanks for shining the light on Fort, I've seen it a few times but never knew what it was!

      You just nailed the problem I have with many modern complex games: it's just an icon and mechanism salad.

      As much as I took to the base game, it's almost always a race to build your fort the fastest, which made it get a little stale, for me. I'll only play with the Cats and Dogs expansion because there are additional legitimate ways of winning the game and the game feels less on rails. To each their own on the art, but I really like it. The game is quirky enough that it's not going to appeal to everyone, but I think it's great. I know this is a retheming of the game, but it works unbelievably well with the game mechanisms.

    I mean I'm definitely a sucker for Kyle Ferrin's artwork so I'm biased but I love the way the kids are drawn in this game, some are cute and funny and some are eerie and weird, y'know like kids?

    Ah Fort, i wanted to like you, i really did. But your charm is in providing a volatile somewhat rudderless experience of card decks being churned and manipulated, and that''s just not my jam. Will be other folks jams though.

    Not a fan of Fort. I feel it's wonky and doesn't allow for satisfying combinations and deckbuilding. Sure you can follow other's players suit if possible and at the end of the turn have all your cards played/discarded instead of in the yard for others to pick, but also I feel I never play a satisfying deck, Fort feels circumstancial and repetitive.

    • @3MBG

      Pretty much how i felt after playing it a few times.
