After reading the rules, I thought the game was rather simplistic. There was nothing particularly new or interesting. Only when I played the game I found that it worked better than I expected. It is indeed pretty simple, but there are some meaningful tactical considerations. I did a three player game, and I think 3 or 4 players will be more interesting than 2, because it is possible to clash numbers. When Han was leading and Xiu Yi (or was it Xiang Yang) and I wanted to stop him, we played the same high number and lost that round to Han. With three or four players, you can actually discuss what numbers to play if you want to gang up on the leading player. It is important to count cards. If you know your opponents’ Aces have all been played, you can be confident yours will certainly win. The four characters are similar but not exactly the same. When you understand their personalities, you can adjust your play style accordingly. 

Overall this is still a simple game. Fans of the original computer game will find this enjoyable. Some IP boardgames and card games are made by non-gamers, and these are painfully obvious to us gamers. Little Fighters 2 is made by gamers, so you get a package which not only honours the original IP but is also a properly decent game.
