5 Stars The best variation
I love this game, but if you play with the same people it can get repetitive. We came up with a simple house rule that totally changes the strategy and flow: on each round of play, the order of turns is random! We put one of each country’s markers in a little (opaque) container, then take turns drawing markers to determine order of play. After all markers have been drawn, they all go back in the container for the next round. Bacause it is not unusual for one country to get two moves “in a row” against an opponent, one must defend very carefully. For example,if the order in the first round is GB, Germany, Japan, Russia, USA the game will start much differently than usual; then the next round comes out Russia, USA, GB, Japan and Germany. Both Russia and USA have then moved twice between Japan’s and Germany’s first and second move. If Germany and Japan overextended on Round 1, they may be in big trouble by their second move! Anyway, every game is different using this variation.
5 Stars I love these so much that I collect them!
Axis and Allies is one of my most favorite board games I have ever played. It has taught me a lot about WWII. My dad and mom are amazed that I understand it. I started playing Axis and Allies when I was 10, and it is for 12+.
So far I have Battle of the Bulge, Pacific, Europe, D-day and the World Axis and Allies.
3 Stars A little complicated and long
To be honest this is a great game but not sure if its for kids. It takes hours and hours to play and the instrucions are complicated. I played this 5 times and the 5 times we started to fight because of the rules. Nobody was clear about little things and its just very annoying to read the manual for each single move. Even when I remembered then instructions I dont anymore after 2 years and i will probably never played it again. Its not fun. People say its boring and it takes to long. Its very good to play for adults but i dont think they will have time for this. Its like a monopoly of war except the rules are a mess, you have to make 20 things per turn and each turn takes like 20 minutes.
5 Stars Axis And Allies Revised
I requested my ten year old son to write this review:
It’s awesome, absolutely awesome! It’s probably the funnest game I have
ever played. From what I know it’s mainly boys that really like to play with it. I do not why but that’s the way I have seen things. I think it’s a great game for people who like strategy. When I first opened the box it’s like opening a box and finding $1000! It just stunned me for a few seconds. When I first opened the box and saw the attractive, eye-pleasing board something inside me just made me want to play it. If you don’t like reading instructions then it’s not your day because there are 40 pages of rules. I think it’s educational because they put little notes on the side of the instructions and tell you what’s happening in the world of World War II. They tell the type of weapons the Axis and the Allies used. The guns that the infantrymen hold sometimes bend, but that’s the only thing that might be annoying. The only thing I would hope is that there would be a World War I version of the game some day.
