Fight 5 Review: They Fixed War… So Why Didn’t I Like It?

Watch “Fight 5 Review: They Fixed War… So Why Didn’t I Like It?,” a board game review for Fight 5 from Meeple AF on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Meeple AF on YouTube:

I don’t like the card game War. My kids do. So when Fight 5 showed up promising a version of that basic high-card concept with actual decisions, bluffing, and five battles happening at once, I thought we might have finally found common ground. We did not. In this review, I’m breaking down how Fight 5 works, where the strategy comes from, why some of its decisions didn’t feel all that meaningful, and the deeply concerning fact that even my War-loving kids weren’t sold. Don’t forget to subscribe while you are here: @GoMeepleAF There are things I like here: the small box, nice card production, quick playtime, and the tension when a Clash starts piling up points. But with so many great small-box card games fighting for shelf space, is Fight 5 worth keeping? For me, it’s Skip AF. I wanted War with more game. Apparently what I needed was just… a different game. Like the video, leave a comment, and subscribe for more board game reviews, questionable purchases, and games fighting for increasingly limited shelf space. #BoardGames #Fight5 #BoardGameReview #CardGames #TabletopGames

About Fight 5, from BoardGameGeek:

In this innovative reimagining of the classic game War, players clash against their opponents across five stacks - no matter the player count! Fight Five is an elemental tug-of-war. In each of the five rounds, players will draw five cards and challenge their opponents for control of five different stacks. Win the clash and take the cards for endgame scoring! Did you tie? Then that stack only grows bigger (and more valuable) for the next clash. Clever play across all five stacks will win the day, and watch out for Star Clash Cards that will beat out all other cards! Be the first to 200 points, or have the most points after three bouts of five rounds. -description from the publisher
