Have at thee! Card Game

I picked up Have at Them by Forlorn Hope Games we had the first play through.

A couple of quick notes - the rules that come with the game are poor! By that I mean they explain game play badly.

There are a revised set on the Forlorn Hope website (I haven't read them so can't comment on them but the have to be better that the set with the rules.

Also watch the play through on YouTube - It makes it clear how to play (I'll try and remember to post a link).

Overall we liked this little game - we played 2 games! 

The quality of the cards is good. 

We did notice that one player was picked on for a round, then next round someone else got picked on unless they played the "best friends... Really" card.

Players have to play an attack card face up on another player who can choose to defend the attack or not. They can also play Ouch cards which can make the attack rebound on the attacker. Defensive cards are played face down are are resolved on the defending player's turn, so they can't attack. There are also some special cards which can allow you extra cards in you hand. 

Players keep playing attack cards until they run out and have to pass - when all the players have passed the round ends and cards are re dealt. 

The are as many rounds as players - each player starting a round once. At the end of a round the number of hits received are recorded. The player with the least hits at the end wins - simples. 

The strategy is choosing an attacking hand or a defensive hand - very important in the last round.

I think 4 out 5 is a fair mark!
