Bricks and Brutes Review

We've had a great time hanging out as a family over the last week before school starts again, and part of that fun has been playing a new game that's currently available on Kickstarter!

Bricks and Brutes is a game designed for 6-13 year olds, with very easy to learn rules and a fun building component. The Queen has decided to have walls built around her castle, and has given each person directions for their wall.

Your job is to build your wall to her specs - but watch out! The other players may try to steal your pieces, so you'd better have a brute to defend yourself. The dragon may swoop in and eat your brute (or your mason if he's undefended), and finally, the Queen may completely change her mind about what she wants and change your wall design! This kingdom is a dangerous place to try to build a wall.

This game was great for my child who loves to play a certain block-style building video game, and had enough strategy for the adults and older kids. Some of the components are even used in fun and different ways!

I highly recommend this game for those with kids, grandkids, or teens who babysit. It's a fun game that's quick to explain, and is something different from anything else you've played!

Want a set of your own? This game is available to order on Kickstarter, for 5 more days! It's already reached its funding goal, so there's no guessing whether or not you'll receive this game.
