Beware! The Faza are coming!

"Faza" by Ben Farahmand. Printed and Distributed by www.thefaza.com. Fun and sort of silly, theis game assumes that Earth is under attack by aliens called "Faza". The eight characters included means that any one player could conceivably start the game eight times without duplicating that style of play! Then there's the map - instead of a static board, the map is made up of 16 tiles which are shuffled before placing them in a four by four grid, making replayabilty very high! Summary: One of the better board games I have played! Pros: Replayability very high! Cons: One of the only things my group found that was for a fun pick me up type game, it took a little too long to play. Solutions: You could vary the amount of hits a mothership needs to take before they are disabled. From a six (for a long game) to as low as a one (although that might be too quick!). Three or four hits per ship seems about right.
