Toy Battle Review: Paolo Mori’s Best Game Yet?
03. Februar 2026 um 18:30
In this video, we answer that exact question. While Toy Battle (by legendary designers Paolo Mori and Alessandro Zucchini) might look like a childhood fever dream, underneath the fire-breathing T-Rexes lies a surprisingly cutthroat tactical experience. We dive into whether this 15-minute clash has enough "crunch" for the hobbyist table.
Paolo also designed Ethnos , Libertalia , and Fall of Rome!

THE ADULT PERSPECTIVE:
Don't let the 8+ age rating fool you. We break down why the mechanics are more "Chess" than "Candy Land":
• The Connection Rule: Why your entire strategy can collapse if you don't maintain a path from your H.Q.
• Tactical Overtaking: Using Troop Strength (1–7 and Jokers) to bury your opponent's units.
• Region Control: The spatial puzzle of surrounding closed zones to snatch Medals.
