"And [Fire Emblem] fans, playing both as players but also fans, will love it. For the game itself, sure, but also for the way it goes overboard on its presentation, with deluxe components and a quality of art surpassing many big commercial games, let alone other fan-driven projects."

- Luke Plunkett

The tactical elements, the weapons triangle, the board movement, being annoyed by terrain; this definitely captures a lot of things that I remember about Fire Emblem and ports them into a tactical board game. I think some players may be saddened by the lack of conversational / support elements, but, can’t have everything.

Fully embracing the theme is what makes Anna’s Roundtable so special. The giant pool of units and faithful gameplay makes Anna’s Roundtable feel like a Fire Emblem title. The tiles all have a retro appearance to them. The various tokens and units breathe extra life into everything. It’s easy to feel a bit of nostalgia when playing.
