Kung Fu Fighting
Kung Fu Fighting by Slugfest Games
Ok so I bought this game on impulse and I have yet to play it, so I cant say much except for the fact I like the artwork and the rules seem solid. It has the right feel of the over-the-top Kung Fu movies I used to watch on Saturdays after the monster movie of the week (or was that before?). Either way it looks like fun and I have to say that rules seem easier than "Lunch Money" as well. National Games Week is coming up and I have to say that I think I'll have to get a game in soon.
Check out the reviews at Board Game Geek. My expectations and impressions seem well founded and close to the mark. I'll have to play a few games before passing final judgement on the game.
Update 1
I did play it once last night with the kids and it went really well. They both understood the concept and rules quickly and had a blast fighting each other. They were even taking the stances at the table. The only rule that they tripped over was that they wanted to add duplicate enhancements once. I guess the quick explanation of the rules was not enough. The discarding and drawing of cards at the beginning of your turn seems backwards to me, but it works fine.
Update 2
After a few more plays the game does work very well. It is easy enough to play and the fighting is quick and can swing rapidly from one side to the other. I would like to see some more balance with the attacks vs. defenses. There seem to be too few blocks. I would alos like to see some more counterattacks in the game too. The bottom line is the game is fun and easy to play. It is worth the money I spent.
