Summary
While The Dresden File Cooperative Card Game is an interesting puzzle style title, the overall design feels undercooked and falls short of being great. Far too much randomness undercuts the the fun factor as it's very easy for the board layout and character decks drawn to add up to a no win situation. The Showdown phase leads to an anticlimactic finale while The Dresden Files theme comes across as tacked on. All said, not a bad game but nothing exciting to write home about.
