Played with Murphy and Susan and win just about every time. Beat the first 4 or 5 books. ### 5/5 — Super addictif *2020-07-18* Règles simples mais jeu complexe: génial ! ### 4/5 — Amazing digital port! *2020-07-15* I know nothing of the books the game is based on but can still proclaim this a really original card game! I love how, unlike most card games, it really feels like some open book test as all of the environmental cards are already there before you as well as the majority of your characters' cards from the start. With the cards in front of you, can you plot the best course of action to best clear the board? ### 2/5 — Really wanted to love this game. *2020-06-11* It's just not fun. The entire game centers around fate points and strategy for anything else comes second to that. I mean that's fine I guess but the worst part is you shouldnt lose fate points when passing. The dice rolls are also a headache because not all games are winnable. There should really be more game play customization options like jot losing fate when passing and such. This is my favorite book series and it deserves a better or just a different game. ### 5/5 — Très bon *2020-05-06* Un excellent jeu et en français . Le portage est parfait. Court mais intense avec un super tutoriel qui le rend simple à appréhender mais , au fil des parties , il devient difficile à maîtriser car , gérer ses cartes et celles des Co-ops s’avère très difficile et c’est ce qui le rend addictif. Bravo les concepteurs 👍! ### 3/5 — last update for menu setup, bad *2020-05-02* latest update makes most things very hard to see unless your screen is huge. If I was new to this, I would not be able to tell what is what. And now there are more screens and steps for the same thing. Changes for change sake. I won’t be playing this nearly as often anymore. ### 4/5 — Clever enough, hope it has legs *2019-04-11* I won on my second game (on easy, mind you, I would have had 0 chance on “normal”), but that person saying they played 40 times and couldn’t win needs to stick to Minecraft, as they had me terrified to purchase this “impossible” game. Hopefully it has enough replay ability though, because the only variability in that first scenario we’re just the positions of the assets. ### 1/5 — Not accessible with Voice Over on IOS *2019-03-21, version 1.2.2* This is not accessible to people with disabilities using Voice Over. IOS has many accessibility hooks that can be utilized to allow Voice Pver to interact with elements. Disappointed ### 5/5 — Totally Winnable and Enjoyable *2019-03-07* The app is gorgeous, the gameplay is fun, the guy who played 40+ games without a victory probably does not understand know how to play (or perhaps he is cursed). Yes, it is hard, the strategy guide is a must read. But after a read through, one game where I was still figuring out that you need to bring fate to the showdown, I won the second game handily. If you like coop play, careful planning, and can stand being stung a bit by the RNG gods, this is package delivers with a wizardy bang. No love potions needed or supplied. ### 5/5 — Not for power gamers *2019-01-25* If you just have to win then move on. This game requires thought, prep, strategy, & a willingness to learn from your mistakes. It is hard to win even on easy. Honestly, Im doubting Ill ever even try the harder settings. If you’re tired of games getting dumbed down cause the admins are caving to the whiners then here ya go. If you have a completely unreasonable obsession with Dresden Files then here ya go. If you’re in the between books slump & need a fix... :) I like it. I think its fun. I do have to chant “no throwing the tablet” when I play... but then again I chant something similar while reading the books too ;) ## Frequently asked questions about Dresden Files Co ### What is the Dresden Files Co-op Card Game?
