Board Games in Review - Quarto Classic - Puzzle Game

ResistorHello Board Game fans let me introduce you to a wonderful card game: Resistor.  You might have seen my earlier post talking about this wonderful game while it was on kickstarter.  Well if you missed the article or missed kickstarter today is your lucky day.  The game is fully published and available on Amazon.

It is the era of nuclear war.  Countries stockpiling global thermonuclear warheads have entrusted their nukes to supercomputers.  Two such computers, Deep Red and BLU9000, have had their launch sequence initiated.  Fearing mutually assured destruction, the computers race to hack one another so they can launch unimpeded and destroy their enemy. 

Will You Survive Nuclear War with Resistor?

Resistor is a great head to head card game where you take turns trying to line up the signal to hack into your opponent.

All the cards are double sided and you have to hold so you see one side and your opponent sees the other side.  Youcard game start with 7 cards between you.  As you play and get a signal across through your color the number of cards shrink making it easier for both players to get a signal across.

Turns are fast and games typically can be over in 20 to 30 minutes.  With special cards and optional rules you have hours and hours of great game play ahead if you get your own copy of Resistor.

I have met the designers of this game and they are great people.  So get yourself a copy pf this fantastic card game here. Thanks for reading and always: Until Next Time, Stay Nerdy!

The nerd is strong in this one. I received my bachelors degree in communication with a specialization in Radio/TV/Film.

I have played several itterations of D&D, Mutants and Masterminds 2nd and 3rd editions, Star wars RPG, Shadowrun and World of Darkness. I am an avid fan of books and follow a few authors reading all they write. Favorite author is Jim Butcher I have been an on/off larper for around 15 years even doing a stretch of running my own for a while. I have played a number of Miniature games including Warhammer 40K, Warhammer Fantasy, Heroscape, Mage Knight, Dreamblade and D&D Miniatures. I have practiced with the art of the German long sword with an ARMA group for over 7 years studying the German long sword, sword and buckler, dagger, axe and polearm. By no strecth of the imagination am I an expert but good enough to last longer than the average person if the Zombie apocalypse ever happens. I am an avid fan of board games and dice games with my current favorite being Quarrios.
