There's some small amount of fluff that goes along with it, but it doesn't seem like a game given to any kind of narrative. It's mainly just a little tactics game. Kind of like the hours long fight in D&D the other night. SPANC was a lot of fun. I'm interested in trying it again with the fighting. The only complaint I have is that there needs to be more toy cards. That may be enough for a 2, or maybe even 3, person game. But once everyone has a full... toybox(?) there's nothing left but a couple of scraps that get discarded as soon as they're picked up. Yeah, I don’t really think Hordes is your kind of game.

Hooray! I see it got a decent score on boardgamegeek.com but don't really have a sense of how it goes. One of the things that most intrigued me about it is that whereas most board games are for at least two players, this one is for <em>one</em> to eight. Someone has played it! Hooray!
