Catacombs (Third Edition)

Lots of fun, silly at times (I mean you can play as a chicken 🐓 or flick around a monstrous gelatinous cube). The game rewards good strategy and skill in flicking discs. Low level of randomness. Dripping in theme.

Like a sporting event. Hilarious when someone misses a sure shot or makes an impossible one!

Difficulty highly adjustable. I find it most fun if person playing as the monsters takes a traditional game master role and ensures the others players are there to have a fair challenge, and not necessarily tries to utterly destroy them. Of course the better the hero players are the more difficult you can make it for them.

I was worried this would be a little too simple - turns out that there are lots of thematic rules that make this game very interesting. There is good variety in monsters and abilities and the heroes are fun.

My two teens and one child enjoy this game with me. A great family game for us, though maybe a little complicated for families that don’t play a lot of games.

Obviously if you hate dexterity games and flicking discs this is not for you.

You like flicking stuff and slaying dragons? Play this game!

For fans of dexterity or flicking games : this one is a must. This box contains all kinds of monsters and items and special abilities that add to this game’s replayability.

I would recommend this only at two players though.

I got this game to try something different. It's a dexterity game where you flick different wooden pucks at other (larger) wooden pucks. The premise is fun. I like that it comes with a playing surface and borders to help keep everything on the table. I preferred it to other games with similar premises such as Flick 'Em Up. I found it had a bit of a learning curve and you do end up checking the rulebook a lot when it comes to different actions.

Playable with gamers of all ages (and everybody seems to love it). The difficulty can be scaled to become whatever you want it to be, and as the dungeon master, you'll have to be very gentle with new players. My only complaint is that every game requires at least some fumbling around through the index of the rulebook to figure out how different effects work.
