A deceptively simple dexterity game which is masses of fun. In the past I wouldn't normally go for this sort of game, but was intrigued to see the crowds which continuously gathered around it at a games convention when it was opposite my stand. Having then played it I became totally hooked. There's a degree of strategy in the setting up phase (especially given opportunity to arrange pieces in 3 dimensions) and then plenty of skill and tactics in the action phase when you try to knock your opponents' pieces off the table. I've subsequently seen this at other conventions where again it always seems to be a hit with kids and adults alike. Everyone's always laughing and having fun when they play. Its also good that you can play in teams as well as individually. This is a really accessible game to play with people who don't think of themselves as gamers - but most more traditional boardgamers will also love this as a quick filler game. I also really like the second edition pieces which are beautifully designed to reflect the different elements they represent, while being carefully balanced so that no element has an advantage. This gives a degree of asymmetry (eg the Air pieces are lighter but there are more of them) and additional interest as you try playing with the different elements.

We bought it at Games Expo. We frequently play when friends are over or on holiday. I can only recommend it! See you at the next tournament! Martin

I don't normally go for dexterity games but this had my family and me hooked. we kept replaying it which given normal teenage attention span is quite an achievement!
