Review: POWER RANGERS DECK-BUILDING Game Storage Box Saved from Solo Mode

Renegade Game Studios recently launched the card case for Power Rangers deck building game. This is exactly what it sounds like, a fantasy, Power Rangers-themed box to store your cards for the Power Rangers deck building game. Inside you’ll find room for tons of cards, rules and cards for a new single-player mode, two large card cases and a set of card dividers to help your organization. Renegade was kind enough to send me a box to review, but all thoughts are my own. You can purchase your copy from Renegade or your favorite game store for around $30.

There’s a lot to discuss here. I’ll talk about the box itself first and then we’ll delve into the new solo game mode. The first thought is that the box looks good. It has a lot of illustrations from the game. It’s nice although at the same time it doesn’t seem that special. Also having the top have some really unique artwork and then letting the sides contain the game artwork could have been a really nice touch. That said, I’m not upset with the current design. The standard card dividers are really nice and feature the cover of the respective set. A little touch that would have taken more time would have been to individualize each divider based on the heading printed on them (Signature, Zords, Main, etc.). Again, it’s not enough to be angry or even disappointed. So far, not bad.

Unfortunately, now we get to the aspects I don’t like. Please note that this is purely subjective. First of all, those cases are so fragile that they easily pop open if they’re accidentally a little too tight. I understand that the idea was to have cases for the large character cards, but I think I would have preferred the box to be slightly larger so I could just fit the standard cards in them. That said, the boxes are a solid place to put your various tokens. Another flaw is the quality of the box. Two sides are nice and durable, but the other two are thin and look much cheaper. I really wish they could have bulked up all the sides to feel good. It’s also frustrating that there’s no great way to keep the cards standing. Some foam blocks would have been an amazing addition.

Probably the biggest disappointment is that there are game pieces that this box isn’t great for. The Lair and Zord Bay pieces fit in the box, but they take up an entire column, which just seems like poor planning. A small storage section to stack on top of the section with cards would have been helpful to create a one box storage solution. Right now you can put everything in this box, but it won’t be long before that’s no longer true.

Now it’s time to discuss the new solo game mode. As someone who really enjoys playing the Power Rangers deck building game but he can’t always get anyone to play with him, I was excited about the solo mode. Overall, I think it’s really well made, but there are some issues. First of all, it’s a bad sign when the rules say to avoid selecting certain b characters because they’re too complicated. That said, in my opinion it would have been better to have a complete list of characters deemed inappropriate. Additionally, the rules do a good job of outlining how a turn works for the opponent, except they seem to leave out a couple of things. For example, at no point does it indicate that your enemy takes damage from your opponent’s cards at the end of their turn. Thankfully, on the official Discord server, I was able to clarify and clarify this.

The solo game isn’t perfect, but it’s fun. Sometimes I get frustrated, but I’m also frustrated in normal gameplay. It’s a fun experience and can be a great way to try out new characters and strategies. In the end, in my opinion, solo mode really saves the day.

Considering the price, I wish there was a little more thought put into the box itself. Finding a more effective way to store Lairs and Zord Bays would go a long way. Unfortunately, in its current state the box can only contain maybe two (three if you’re really lucky) more expansions before it’s no longer a single-box solution. If you really like the Power Rangers deck building gamethe storage box can be a decent purchase if you have $30 to spare, especially for solo mode.
