“If you’re a fan of traditional co-op games like Pandemic, FAZA is right along those same lines and has a bit more meat on its bones. If you want to really collaborate with others to weigh your options, order your actions wisely, and figure out when and where to press your luck, this is the game for you.” – Marc Davis from The Thoughtful Gamer

The Cardboard Republic Previews FAZA
“Faza follows in the footsteps of other challenging but enjoyable co-ops such as Forbidden Island and Pandemic. Playthroughs can painstakingly devolve from the edge of success to utter defeat in short order, snatching defeat away from you just when you feel you have a solid chance at victory. But it does so in that intoxicating way good co-ops do, having you mutter “Next Time” as you begin picking up the pieces. With a wonderful dose of retro sci-fi artwork, an appealing table presence, and dynamic team-centric turns where everyone gets a say over the best course of action, Faza makes for an engaging, tough, and often unpredictable game of daring survival.” – Ryan LaFlamme from The Cardboard Republic

One Board Family Previews FAZA
“The game draws you in so quickly with its beautiful artwork, but you’ll want to stick around for the solid mechanics and thematic gameplay. After you and your friends spend an hour or two with this one, you may be looking to replace Pandemic as your go-to cooperative game.” – Ric White and Ryan Gutowski of One Board Family
FAZA Preview by Two off the Top
“I really like and enjoy Faza. I liked it when I got to play a small demo at UnPub 8 and I enjoyed it even more when I had it on my table. If you like cooperative games, Faza includes some interesting takes on the genre … I would consider Faza to be a touch more intricate than contemporaries Pandemic and Flash Point: Fire Rescue.” – Kurt Miller from Two off the Top
FAZA Preview by Boardgames and Bourbon
If you haven’t already had a chance to see it, Glenn Flaherty over at Boardgames and Bourbon received a prototype copy of FAZA to preview for our upcoming kickstarter. He had some positive and kind words to share about his experience playing FAZA.
“This game is not easy and it ratchets up in tension quickly … It reminds me of Forbidden Island and Forbidden Desert, but it has a relentless nature to it – kind of like playing Eldritch Horror. And it is a tense game. But somehow the ‘Mars Attacks’ theme that’s put on top of it keeps it kind of buoyant, keeps it kind of fun.”
