Blood Rage Board Game Review & How to Play - GamerNode

Eddie Inzauto reviews Eric M. Lang and Guillotine games' Blood Rage, published by CMON.

This combat-heavy area control game with card drafting, hidden objectives, and various upgrade paths is a special hybrid of Euro and Ameritrash that will have a special sort of appeal to a wide variety of gamers.

Designed for 2-4 players and lasting about 90 minutes, this super-fun game scales well with all player counts, but is best at a full 4. (There's a 5-player expansion, but we still prefer it at 4.)

It does serve up the opportunity for players to create game-breaking combos, but is self-balancing thanks to the combination of area control, card-drafting, and the battle system, which is excellent.

And let's not forget the minis. Wow.

Great game overall. Our highest recommendation.
5 out of 5.
:-D out of :-D
