Hera and Zeus rating: 1/5 stars It's uneducational and stupid

This is the dumbest most stupidest game I have ever played in my whole entire life. There is no point in it and it shouldn't be out in stores. Readers please don't buy this incredibly stupid game.

Hera and Zeus rating: 5/5 stars For those into strategy

My wife and I play a lot of two-player Rio-Grande-type games, and this one is our favorite. I agree with Carolina that there are a lot of types of cards. This is actually what keeps us coming back. Because the game has so many possibilities, my wife claims that her intuition really pays off against my more structured approach - the tide can turn unexpectedly. There's also a lot of bluffing involved, as you play cards face down and they're not shown until challenged. Fun all around!

Hera and Zeus rating: 3/5 stars Good game, but easy to forget how to play

This game is an interesting two-player game. It is reminiscent of Stratego in that opponents are trying to find the other player's hidden card. It is also reminiscent of children's trading card games, with each card having different capabilities and being worth more or less. I enjoyed playing it, but have never wanted to pick it up again. There are simply two many different types of cards with different capabilities, and it is too hard to remember. You end up looking at the instructions throughout the entire game.
