Flame War (2012)

About this game

In the card game Flame War, each player takes the role of a forum admin. Starting threads, posting, flaming, maybe some trolling, and perhaps even bringing up a certain pony that might in fact be little and belong to someone you know... Flame War is a fun and clever game about running a forum. Every card in the game represents a post made by a forum member, often directed at another member. Some are informational, some are random, and some are downright mean. The internet is a scary place for folks who like to read what other people write. Closing down threads scores you points, and the player who scores the most points when the game ends wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
