Reviews of Anima: Shadow of Omega

When you see the game you’ll be first impressed by the art, that is amazing. The cards are beautiful and the game is really straightforward to learn. Basically you choose a character among two and some advantage cards (that are considered “powers”) then you move to different locations in order to recruit more characters, gain more powers or to complete a quest. After one quest you can reveal the final quest and start it – the player that completes it wins the game.

It reminds me of Dungeoneer but it’s really easier. It’s funny to play even if the game usually won’t last less than 2 hours, especially if you’ve 5 players (you can’t have more). The game permits interaction among players and it doesn’t require pens or counters at all, and that’s a good thing. We do not play often but it’s becoming one of our favourites.

So, the verdict is this: if you like card games and you’ve time to play, buy it, it’s not that expensive and it’s a good game.
