We’d played Loki games before like Zoo Run and Little Battle. You have to choose which cards to use, and in which order to perform your actions.

Kraken Attack! I rolled and had to use his attack. fills a perfect need on our family board game shelf. And if you roll the “Eye of the Kraken”, you have to move every single tentacle of that color.Each player is in control of their own character throughout the game, although you can work together on your strategy. Very rarely do family games check all of our boxes. Well packed. Once I saw the pictures of the gameplay, and especially when I realized it was a tower defense game, I was instantly sold. This time we’d make better use of the movement icons on our cards to help each other out a bit, still lost.Okay, time to re-evaluate my initial thoughts on this cutesy looking game. Kraken Attack is a smart cooperative game: you use pirate skills, repair damage to the ship, and choose the best weapons possible to stay afloat and keep the kraken at bay!

Good quick delivery and fun games.Good family games. Like Kraken Attack those games are really beautiful and a lot of fun for young ones, but they don’t really require skill and strategy. Kraken Attack is no exception. When the sensitive little Kraken makes it to the end of his track he immediately replaces one of the tentacles on the main board. Not a huge deal, but mildly annoying to have a nice insert and still have to pull it out the box every time anyway.All in all Kraken Attack is a solid family game and an excellent introduction to ‘grown up’ mechanisms. There’s even a couple of variants included to alter the difficulty too which is a nice touch. You might move your character around the ship, repair a section of rail or attack tentacles in certain combat zones.Then players check for the ‘funny face’ symbol on the card they just used, if it has one then the rather easily provoked Tootone moves closer to the ship releasing more dice into the pool as he goes.
