Two mini-reviews in one to two games that I discovered recently on the advice of a friend. Both published by the young Sirlin Games, the two games are different but complementary, since the titles of the same setting but generally very different.
Yomi simulates a meeting on the fighting genre of video games to Street Fighter. Two players with a deck of cards each, face each game attacks, sockets, parries and dodges in an attempt to land the opponent.
The game has an extremely simple, you learn in frettissima and still managed to simulate a enormity of the classic fighting game elements such as combo, combo breaker, knockdowns, special moves and finishers from "load" before you can use to create a gaming experience, however complex and varied. This, combined with the fact that the game contains 10 custom decks for the 10 playable characters, each with advantages and disadvantages and special skills that make the strategy is always different, Yomi is a very interesting game and I recommend to everyone.
Puzzle Strike instead it is a game that simulates a video game to Puzzle Fighter. The characters are the same as Yomi, but this time the players (from 2 to 4) will not have to fight with combos and taken, but the mix and throw each other falling gems in their dashboard in order to clog the planks opponents.
The game has a slightly more complex mechanical Yomi and more similar to another modern classic of board games: Dominion. Players will in fact increase their deck of cards, take on the bank "common" each turn, and then devising a strategy based on acquisitions and future behavior of adversaries.
Also this game promises great longevity among the 10 characters each with special abilities to add to the deck and the fact that the "common base" is generated randomly at the beginning of each game by selecting only a portion of the cards available, the variety of game is huge. Another game so much that I recommend.
An attention should be given to materials of both games: I personally have purchased versions "Print and Play" are available in PDF on the site of Sirlin Games for a very affordable price, then all my "equipment" cards are only made by me. But if you are willing to spend more, you can get really beautiful Deluxe versions: Yomi has plastic cards that resemble in quality professional poker cards, while cards but did not strike Puzzle pieces of wood round each player takes a own canvas bag.
