Quotes (from this video)
- This is a six small box game review roundup. Gen Con edition.
- If a game is in a six small box game review, it usually means it's not likely to get above a 3.5 out of five.
- I think for me, I don't like this at all. I thought it was terrible. But again, caveat, I'm not the intended audience.
- The actual puzzle, both solo and cooperative, is pretty fun.
- The rule book in my opinion is terrible.
- I think this is a great icebreaker, a great gateway game, uh, good for kids and families as well.
- It's the kind of game that was good for two or three plays. And by the time I was playing it the fourth time, I was already I I felt I had done everything I wanted to from the game.
- The biggest critique I have is it does feel very luck dependent. It doesn't feel like there's a ton of strategy.
