The idea was really cool. I 'm playing a lot of board games so I thought that it would be a nice anime to watch.
Now if I was watching this series in any other circumstances I would easily rate it with 1 or 2. But my mood was so bad that I needed something soft like this. Something to chill.
First, the pros.
Most of the time, everything is better in anime format. Something simple as throwing a dice, writing on a notebook, or just plain staredown contest, is always epic to watch. This again applies here most of the time. Board games you know are beign played here and you see how characters react to them, in a way you wouldn't react. The characters state details in the rules, the cards and the miniatures that you would never even bother, but is rather satisfying to watch the characters play the board games here.
The cons.
The only con is simple. typical, anime. All the stereotypes are here. Shy protagonist, "I want to be the best", "friendships always wins? for some reason" and so on. I mean yeah it has its moments but the characters are sooo shallow that you don't even care about what will happen.
Also, its only 12 episodes, they didn't have the time to do anything with the characters, so you don't have the time to care.
So, if this series was bigger, it may had a chance to be something. Now it was only another random anime series that we will all forget about it.
