Big Game Big Return -Tokyo Sidekick
Superheroes Meet-Up tonight, bring a Sidekick!
Tokyo Sidekick from Japanime games is a super cooperative superhero deck-building game. The fate of the cities in Japan is ever-increasing against villains, supervillain, and then the big baddies. The missions are time-sensitive due to incidents unresolved that can turn critical, unleashing mayhem. This night can go two ways; save the day by taking down 2 Villains and two Supervillains to get the Menace's attention and defeat it or die by depleting the Damage Deck, and Destruction Gauge maxes at 15. If it is the latter, players can regroup, adjust missteps, and start over. That is what the Japanime Games has done. They tweaked a bit of the game and are relaunching to Kickstarter on August 17th.

Undertaking the journeying across Tokyo with sidekicks collecting power and teaming up is expedient, and we found the only road to success ultimately. The rule book is dense with essential tips and tricks on pairing heroes and sidekicks. We brazenly picked characters that liked or found amusing our first game and failed miserably.
Our Thoughts
The Manga of original content contained lore, and the characters' personal connections gave the game a compelling and exciting level for play. We definitely embodied our characters' personalities.
The art and game pieces are extraordinary and striking.
It took several games for us to banish the villains and become Hero Nerdz.
The game is fast-moving and unpredictable. Being a novice at the RPG, but reasonably good at strategy, felt that I could benefit the team.
Tokyo Sidekick is a rare creation that we found had the perfect balance between depth, style and substance, and fun and challenge.
Let’s be honest; there is still a bit of drama when we play.
