Transformers Card Game Review

This is a pretty fun 2-player game. Hobby gamers won’t have any trouble with it, although kids who are only used to traditional games like Candyland or Go Fish may need a little adult help to learn it. It includes basic and advanced rules, so you can try the simple version (which leaves out some of the cards) first. Note that gameplay is nearly identical to Clash of the Lightsabers Star Wars Card Game. The main difference (aside from the theme and artwork) is that this game doesn’t include pewter miniatures for keeping score — you just flip scoring cards to track that. Also, this game uses illustrations while the Star Wars game had movie stills on the cards. On the plus side, this game will fit in your pocket.

I was able to play this with my preschooler (who plays a lot of games and is into anything Transformers) by taking out all the cards with text on them and just playing with the number cards. I’ll add in the others once he can read them.
