Flash Review — Fort

 


Player count: 2 to 4
Works well with just 2: Yes!
Age: 10+
Playtime: 20-40 min

A cute deck-building game where each player is a kid who uses toys to build the best fort in the neighborhood—with the help of his or her friends!

Recruit all the friends you need, stash secrets in your treehouse, and make sure everyone on your team has all the pizza and toys they need.

Fort sticks to its “players are kids” theme all the way through. From individual scoring cards (revealed at the end) being called “made-up rules,” to making the trophy awarded to the player who finishes his fort first into a “macaroni sculpture,” the game really feels like you’re trying to wrangle a bunch of hyperactive kids into a winning fort-building team. Components also look like they were drawn by (talented) kids. But keep an eye on your most valuable friends, because opponents might snatch them away while they’re playing in the yard…

Most easily forgotten rule: You can only play ONE card to follow a leader’s action.
