Capstone GamesRiftforce, Strategy Board Game, 3 Different Actions to Choose from When Planning Your Strategy, 30 Minute Play Time, Ages 10 and Up

Amazing, simple, very replayableIt's probably the best game I've bought at this price point.The rules are very easy but the strategy is so deep.

It's a shame that more gamers don't know about Riftforce. For a small(ish) box game with rules that aren't terribly difficult to teach, there's a lot of fun and strategy. It contains one of my favorite game mechanisms, which is "sacrifice": some of your most important actions require sacrificing a card from your hand so that a card (or cards) on the board can do their cool stuff. Pair that with a lot of combos and card mobility and there's a lot to love here.There is an expansion for the game but, considering that you don't use all of the factions in each game AND the factions that ARE there play very differently depending on which ones are paired together that game and (/me takes a breath) you aren't going to be yearning for more cards after just a few games.....trying to think of negative things to say... Well, don't play this with someone who gets analysis paralysis. There aren't Obvious Moves and each turn requires a combination of "how will this help me in future turns" and "the board state might be different by then, so let's just go for it".The game does take up a decent amount of table space. Not "Twilight Imperium" amount but you're also not going to play it on an airplane tray or even on a 2-person Wendy's booth. Definitely would fit on a full-sized fast food booth's table, though.Oh, and I always hear the game's name as if it were a hair metal band. "RIFT FORCE!!" (electric guitar riff). Now you will, too. Sorry.The art is excellent and adds to each faction's different feel while also staying consistent enough to be coherent.That's all. Go forth and enjoy Riftforce (guitar riff).

My son and I enjoyed this game a lot. We played several rounds. Very easy to learn. We both like the element of never the same game twice. The quality of the game is top notch. Beautiful artwork. We also purchased the expansion pack.

"This strategy game is quick, intense, and so much fun! The three action choices keep you on your toes, and the 30-minute playtime makes it perfect for family game night. Even the kids (10+) caught on quickly and loved it!"

Riftforce is a fantastic card game with deep strategic choices and high replayability. Each elemental faction offers a unique play style, ensuring that no two games feel the same. The intense dueling nature keeps the gameplay exciting, with every decision feeling crucial as you battle for control of the Rift.The game’s replayability is excellent, as the different factions and their strategies offer endless variety. While some factions feel stronger than others, the overall balance remains solid, and games are still highly engaging.Highly recommended this game for those who enjoy intense, ever-changing gameplay in a shorter and faster game that's perfect if you have an hour on a weeknight.

This is a fun game. I like it.

I like riftforce so much I’ve bought two of them to gift it to friends. It’s such a snappy 1v1 game that has high replay ability right out of the box. You draft elements to combine for your deck and then you try to battle across the rift (lanes) for victory point dominance. Fine out of the box but also offers an expansion. Most people will be fine with the base game but if you love it the extra variety will never hurt.

This is a fairly easy to learn game. It does require a lot of planning, luck, and skill to win, though. The game induces forward thinking, and is never the same game twice. I love this game, and my spouse and I play it often. It’sa two player competitive game.
