 Reviews & Comments:
BGG Donald Dennis:"Great kids game, where the players scramble to gain the Zeus figure. A fun diversion that allows younger kids to play while accidentally polishing their addition skills." BGG Manuel Pombeiro:"One of the best filler gamers all around adding to this that it is also one of the best kids games, and topping it all, it still is a blast with non-gamers or gamers alike." BGG Marc B.:"Another family card game in the gamewright card game series. This one is a lot of fun with mixed age group. As per gamewright it's very easy to teach and get started. It quickly becomes a laughing grabbing moaning and groaning good time. plays well with the listed age group of 8 and up. Perfect for a quick 15 minutes of fun before kids are off to bed." BGG Mike Adams:"Fun, quick card game that takes little thought. My daughter in particular loves it. This is the game I would suggest to people who like Uno but are willing to try something else - it's faster, less random, and has an awesome Zeus figure you can steal and slam down on the table. Gave a copy to my daughter's teacher who loved it so much she picked up more Gamewright games for her classroom, which the kids have loved." BGG Michael Erb:"Though very kid-friendly, “Zeus on the Loose” is fun and engaging for adults as well. This is a good filler game when you are waiting for other players to arrive or when you need a short but still entertaining game. The more players you add the crazier the fun, and since it supports up to five players, this is a perfect game for a family or small group of friends." BGG Neil Thomson BGG Tom Vasel |
