Puzzle Strike 2nd Ed.

Played my first four games of this today and I have a few questions. It should be noted that I think it's awesome and I love playing it.

1)Endgame. Am I missing something? I get that at 10 chips in the stack the game is over. But is that it? As fun as the game is to play, the end seems very anti-climatic. Sort of, "oh, ok, game over".

2)"Sneak Attack" This must be the most OP "card" I have ever seen. It costs 3 and whoever starts getting those first basically wins. We played two games with them and then decided not to use it again the next two games.

I think there was another question I had, but I can't remember.

We were playing 2 players.

1. Yep. That's the end. It makes more sense if you'd played SUPER PUZZLE FIGHTER back in the day. Does the game make more sense if the 10th Letter of Marque earns you the Duke's favor?
2. That's a red card though. It's pretty unlucky to have that out but no blue responses. Just pay attention to what your opponent is getting and you should be able to counter effectively. And nothing will piss you off as much as Stolen Purples.

I think maybe since I am so used to counting victory points that the fact there is nothing to do at the end seems abrupt. I used to play Puzzle Fighter, and and a video gamer as you know so I do get the "top out" game over concept. It's just the endgame isn't translating as well for me. I still love the shit out of it though. We had one game last 15 minutes, and the final game lasted almost an hour.

Glad you like it -- enjoy!
