Quotes (from this video)
- This is a seven for me, which is a huge compliment to a trick-taking game.
- Artwork on this is fantastic and playing it solo, I don't really gravitate to solo games.
- Don't let that scare you. It's the least Knizia game I think I've ever played.
- This takes the whole all global politics rather than economy.
- It's a game that is a great filler for so many different circumstances.
- I think it would cause too many arguments and that'd be frustrating.
- it's very much a dice chucker, not really a Euro game in the strictest sense of the word.
- It is a really interesting Eurogame
- Shapely, a odd uh named party game where you're putting these little shapes and trying to guess what people put from R&R Games, but actually works out with some clever things in it.
- You're basically in your head trying to figure out how long timers are.
- Um it's a little kooky which keeps me from maybe giving it a higher number.
- this is a game with no frills, just cards and dice.
- This is a game that's similar to Magical Athlete.
- Woo. What a good game World Order is.
- We played Zombie Side, the new pirate Zombie Side live.
- Ooh, the Disneyland game in a world of color.
- All In Predictions, and I gave it a six out of 10. I think it's an interesting poker game but I found it to be very slow-paced.
- I found it to be a little bit of a game that gives both too much information and not enough information and I thought there was too much hand mitigation but too much luck.
- It's a little bit of a of an ill-fitting game overall.
- I like the idea. I love the illustrations and the artwork but I thought the game played a little slowly for what I was hoping for and there's just too much asking the other people, 'What are you holding?'
- Especially late in the hand, you're able to do that thing. It just blows the the bluffing, the guessing out of the water sometimes, which robs the end of the rounds of any tension, any real tension.
- I reviewed, uh let's see, Comet or Quomet? I'm going to guess Comet. I gave it a 7.5 out of 10.
- This is an abstract strategy game for two players and I thought it was really interesting.
- It is a fast-paced game with a an interesting hook, this idea of making the square on the grid.
- Rules overhead is great for the return on the the investment you're putting into it.
- The usual winning condition is, 'Haha, you missed the thing, so I beat you.' Which I'm not super against. I don't mind that in abstract games so much, but this game certainly feels like that's the way to win. Hope your opponent makes a mistake.
- But other than that, the production's lovely. They really know how to make a good-looking wooden game and the game feels good.
- I think it's one I would be happy to teach other other gamers that don't want a lot of rules but want some some brain candy.
- I reviewed Mustache, which I also gave a 7.5 out of 10.
- This is a trick-taking card game, very simple one, kind of a family-friendly one.
- And it reminds me of some of these games that have come out recently that give you little rules along the way, little spicy things to you know, sink your teeth into as you go.
- This one does that but with a light touch. It's very light, it's very simple and I like the changing partnerships in the game.
- I think the humor that the game attempts to to bring forth is is
