Charge up your weapons, put on your power suit, and enter the arena: it’s time for Tiny Epic Mechs!
In Reaping the Rewards, I take a look at the finished product from a crowdfunding campaign. Tiny Epic Mechs was originally funded in the fall of 2018, raising over $545k. It’s the tenth title in the Tiny Epic series by Scott Almes and Gamelyn Games, known for packing a lot of gameplay into a small package. Tiny Epic Mechs was shipped to backers earlier this summer, and is now available for purchase.
This review is a modified version of my original Kickstarter Tabletop Alert, updated to reflect final components and gameplay.
What Is Tiny Epic Mechs?
Tiny Epic Mechs is a game for 2 to 4 players, ages 14 and up, and takes 30 to 60 minutes to play. The basic edition retails for $20 and is in stores now; the Deluxe edition is available for $30 directly from Gamelyn Games. I’ve actually played the game with some kids (my nieces and nephews) as young as 6 with adult help; the game does have some complexity but kids will really be drawn to the fantastic ITEMeeples.
