Review on Unleash The Power Of Mythology With Gamewright'S Zeus On The Loose Card Game by Steve Washington

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fun card game that's also educational

I work for an after school program, and I bought this game so that kids who finished their homework early had something educational to play. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to try it out with them. I did, however, do a trial run with my nephews (ages: 13, 12, 10) who enjoyed the game immensely. It's a very fast paced game, which adds to the excitement. It's a really good tool for kids who need practice or want to hone their mental math addition skills. This game relies more on luck than on strategy to win, which isn't necessarily a bad thing in that it gives everyone a chance to win. The Zeus statue is a nice little gimmick that adds to the fun of the game. My nephews loved being able to steal Zeus away from someone else. Definitely a must have card game.

Pros
  • The game encourages taking risks and thinking creatively
Cons
  • Not enough innovative elements
