Superfight Card Game
Since Superfight! arrived, it has found its way to my table once in my friendly local game store, and several times on late nights. We’ve had some repeat players and some once-offs. What we have not had is anybody who has specifically requested it beyond their first play.
How does it look?: First off, I must note that I was a Kickstarter backer, so my components were from the initial print run. Having not seen further printings, my opinion on the quality of components may not be representative of consumer copies. This was most evident in the box the game came in – almost entirely unmarked, with no mention of what the game inside was. The boxes the expansions came in were flimsy and similarly Spartan in their decoration.
Superfight! has a very minimalist design a la Apples to Apples and Cards Against Humanity. Each card has the game’s logo and a bit of text. I found that some of my cards were a shade away from the others of their color. This was honestly a non-issue given the casual nature of the game, but it did not look great.
Start with two decks of cards: CHARACTERS (white cards) and ATTRIBUTES (black cards). Invariably your cards will be all mixed up so go ahead and sort that out. One player starts by drawing three white cards and three black cards and keeps them, like his/her nonsense opinions, to him/herself. A second player does the same. I am not sure how TS files work in the documents but I have a save of Superfight and when I opened the.json file it shows the urls and whatnot for the cards and background. I assume if you just put this save I uploaded from my game into your Documents my games Tabletop Simulator Saves directory it should work. Hope this helps. Danny from ZiaComics.com teaches us how to play the quick and fun party game, Superfight. Superfight is party game of super powers and super problems.To pla. Set your hero on the stage, and argue why they'd win the fight.
How does it play?: Anyone familiar with games in the Apples to Apples and Cards Against Humanity families will have no trouble picking up this one. There are a number of small variant play styles listed in the rules, but it generally comes down to the Judge player setting up a semi-or-fully random Bad Guy, then the other players creating semi-random Heroes. The players pitch how they think their screwball heroes could beat the Bad Guy, and the Judge picks a winner.
Depending on the group of players, turns can fly by or take a few minutes as friends describe epic showdowns between a cat-like radioactive Bill Nye and a flying shark handcuffed to a golf cart.
Overall Impression: While Superfight! is quick and easy, it really doesn’t bring anything new to the table. We have found that it starts off with a few laughs, but eventually drags on. This might be remedied by setting a victory point goal, but that won’t make repeat plays feel any more fresh.
Superfight Card Game Skybound
While it feels good to have helped an independent publisher create his dream game, I would strongly steer party gamers towards Say Anything! and other games that allow players to create their own answers. The card-based party games following in Cards Against Humanity’s wake just feel tired.
