The bright, at-first garish style works to elevate Fort’s already unique theme. The artwork is by Root illustrator Kyle Ferrin, who moves away from the softer tones found in the sober woodland warzone to a more eccentric colour palette here.

Fort’s art design gets its wonderful feeling of childlike freedom and fun across.ĭesigned by Grant Rodiek as a retheme of 2018 release SPQF and published by Leder Games - the studio best known for Root - Fort is a deckbuilding game about a rabble of kids competing to see which of the local gangs can acquire the most stuff and build the best fort. Fort hops over these potential pitfalls by introducing some original ideas in a charming deckbuilding game focused on providing simple but engaging player interaction. Meandering through an overly-simple deckbuilder that refuses to take risks can be as excruciating as wrestling with an overly complex one, particularly for players familiar with the genre.
