Board Game Review: Superfight

Hello Enthusiasts,

Up for review today is the board game Superfight. While really more of a card game, this follows a style similar to Cards Against Humanity, which has taken the world by storm. In Superfight, each player puts down a noun card (white cards) with a couple of strengths and weaknesses (black cards), and then they debate who would win in a fight. A player could, for example, play the white card, "Brown Bear", with the black cards, "With Laser Eyes", "Drunk", and "Wearing Rocket Powered Roller Skates". In my experience, I've always found it more fun to randomly draw the third black card and have to argue something you weren't expecting.

There are also several expansion packs that add different scenarios, locations, different objectives than just winning a fight, and so on. So maybe than it being a straight fight between the contestants, maybe it's a battle of the bands in a trailer park. This ends up adding even more fun an causes players to create very different arguments. While my brown bear from before may have destroyed the other player in a fight, they could argue that my bear can't play an instrument.

The only problem with this game is playing it too often with too few people takes away some of the fun. Eventually, you will run out of cards that you haven't played before, and even the ever changing scenarios and expansions don't add too much life to this experience. This is the same problem that the aforementioned Cards Against Humanity faces, but playing with large groups will add some diversity to the cards each player gets to use, and will add to the life of the game.

Despite the issue with replay value, I definitely recommend this one to anyone looking or a new party game. While I'm not one to generally suggest too many expansion packs for games, I think it's well worth the money here. It's a lot of fun, a lot of laughs, and it's pretty simple and straight forward.

I give Superfight an 8 out of 10.

Sincerely,

The Bored Enthusiast
