    Tiny Epic Kingdoms is the same way- I actually did have a 5p game of that one where ALL of us had 10 VP at the end. Three of them were eliminated by the first tie breaker, which was the size of your army. The two of us that remained had the game decided by how much of our tower was built- I'd not invested in it at all, whereas they had one level- which normally would be worthless as it doesn't grant VP until level 2, but since it was the next tie breaker, they ended up winning because of that. It gave us all a good laugh.

    Wow what a coincidence!! This game has been laying on my shelf for about 3 months now. I simply haven't gotten around to playing it yet. Too busy. I'm getting together with some old friends for the weekend tonight, for some much needed R&R, and yesterday I thought to myself: "Maybe I'll crack Tiny Epic Tactics open and give it a go... I'll check out a tutorial.".... and what do you know! Rodney uploads a video for it on the same day! Many thanks Rodney!! Keep up the good work!

    After Tiny Epic Zombies I gave up. Their games are fun but they reached a complexity and component number where "tiny" just became a downside. I highly dislike that map they used for Tiny Epic Tactics. This game would've been so much better if it was a normal size boardgame ... Anyway, the how to play video is great, as always

    To each their own and it obviously won't appeal to everyone but I think they hit the nail on the head for what they were going for on this. They designed a game with tactical depth but able to be stored in a very small box. Sure it could be enlarged for a bigger map, but the pieces would need to be bigger, too. Any map larger than this would surely be a bit too big for the design. With things like ranged attacks and peaks, larger maps would practically invalidate melee specific units like beasts and short ranged fighters.

I know, there are better and worse games in the series, but I collect them (there is just 12 tiny games in the series), and would like to know if you do so as well, because a lot of youtubers who show them, just do it for one video and sell the ones they don't like.
