The Lost Toys
For Fuzzy Heroes
$11.95
Design By Christopher Clark
Published by Inner City Games DesignsFuzzy Heroes. A game of legend in the industry. Miniatures rules for stuffed and other toys. Great for the entire family to play. And now he's moved it into the popular realm of Undead creatures with the release of "The Lost Toys,", the fourth book in the Fuzzy Heroes Game System.
In this supplement (which does require ownership of the main book, Fuzzy Heroes), players find themselves combating the "Unded" toys. These are toys that didn't get an adequate amount of sleep and have now taken on zombie-like qualities. Included is a whole section on different powers and abilities for this genre, as well as a complete scenario titled "Buffy the Vampire Sprayer." Some of the original copies also came with a free "Vix the Inhaler" vampire stuffed toy.
The book itself is well-written by Clark, who has consistently improved with each product he releases. The one criticism I will make is that he tends to get a bit conversational about some of the rules, and this can be confusing to the younger players. Including a quick reference card or section is definitely a must for his future releases.
The quality of the product put out by Inner City has really improved over time. Chris Clark and his band of psychotics should truly be commended for working hard to make the best games they can in a time when all flash and no substance appears to be the rule.
