Flipside Jam

Mechanism: Drafting and Set Collection.

Theme: You set collect in the music industry. The bands are composed of different animals - eg - panda, tiger, bunny etc.

Gameplay: With 2 players you have to read your opponent. With 4 players you just draft and build sets which means there is less interaction.

Randomness: There is some luck involved. The luck helps with family game play. For serious gamers, there is probably too much luck.

Art: I would say 90% of the character art is good. The box is attractive when you lay it out on the table.

Humor: I think the characters are satirical. It is maybe more whimsical than satirical.

Card Quality: It is high quality.

Box: The box is shaped like a book which makes it easy to store on book shelf.

I do not like how the cards are stored. It should have tabs for easy removal.

Conclusion: It is fun for a quick after dinner game. I suppose it can also be used as a filler.
