Description
Sometime after the fall of Handsome Jack, in-between bomb-making and bandit-killing, Tina decided to try her hand at making her own board game. After all, everyone seemed to love her session of Bunkers & Badasses and vault hunters need something to do in their downtime. She started by tearing apart and jamming back together ACTUAL Claptrap units, but the sounds of their protests and complaints got a bit annoying. After consulting Princess Fluffybutt and Sir Reginald she opted for a card game instead.

So grab some crumpets, drink some tea and join Tina in torturing (and building) Claptraps of 5 varieties. Along the way you’ll enlist some help from Brick, Mordecai, Moxxi and Earl to mess with your opponents and find what you need to win.

Featuring brand new original art and character designs never seen anywhere else; Borderlands: Tiny Tina’s Robot Tea Party is the first wide release tabletop game ever set in the Borderlands universe. It’s made to be the perfect filler game, with dead simple rules, a quick play time and plenty of interaction. This officially licensed product is a collaboration of Nerdvana Games, Gearbox Software and XYZ Game Labs.

Great game!

A great shedding game where you play poker hands and power cards.

Nightfall Lite but Not Nightfall 2.0

If you liked Nightfall, but thought individual creature combat was too tedious? You'll probably like this.

If you liked Nightfall but thought the game was too slow to ramp up, or too long to finish/hand out all wounds, you'll like this.

If you thought Nightfall's "Private Archive" claims ended to overpower the game based on luck of the draw, you'll like Unchained's 3x3 market grid.
-----
As far as deck builders go, I like Unchained. It will take awhile to really know the card power combos. The symbols look overwhelming at first, but are kind of intuitive once you're used to how the cards work. Combat is total offense vs total defense and result is one fatigue (wound). So no MTG-ish "creature 1 attacks player B and creature 2 takes 3 wounds against player C." It does speed up and simplify the game a lot. The 3x3 card market is brilliant. You can get cards you want and/or clear out cards you don't want your opponents to get. Much more variety of cards to cycle through than 8+2 archives = 10 cards to choose from per game.

Solid 4/5 all around. I'd give 5/5 if there was a happy medium in combat between Nightfall and Unchained. Not as super simplified as Unchained, but not like Nightfall's individual cards combat. Maybe a power on some cards "stays in play after combat" so there's a larger chance of different strategies than "I punch you, you punch me, repeat"
