Quotes (from this video)
- the whole trip the whole journey was worth it just to get Oracle of dely
- I'd probably give caca a three out of four it definitely has a few little areas where it could be a little bit more interesting the game kind of felt quite short for two plays but still a very fun and unique experience
- basically once you played this sized game you're not going to go back to the original because of just how satisfying it is to pull a giant Cube and plunk it onto the Matt and just really see the
- I don't think I particularly enjoyed that particular game cuz I'm not really much of a push your luck game
- I do like seeing my tiles flat on a flat surface it just makes it easier to navigate

Pros
- The drafting system is pretty cool.
- The small hand limit twist is definitely worth mentioning and makes the game more interesting.
- It works, it's very smooth, it looks nice and it's punchy.
- Can't really criticize it; it does exactly what it's supposed to do.
Cons
- Pretty standard fair, a lot of games out there like this.
- If you have games like Rummy or Splendor, you probably don't need this one.
- Doesn't do engine building; you are always just collecting cards and cashing them in.
- Nothing to really write home about, nothing remarkable.
Thematic elements
- Collecting seeds to buy flowers
Comparison games
- Rummy
- Splendor
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card Drafting — Players draft cards, with options to take all cards of the same color or same seed type.

- Set Collection — Contracts require specific sets of cards based on color or seed type.

Quotes (from this video)
- So, automatically I was starting off on a kind of a handicap really and it was very difficult for me to fight my way through those dice to try and build those patterns.
- But there is a nice degree of um of kind of logical reasoning and a deduction going on here.
- The game is is very enjoyable.
- It looks lovely. It's fast.
- This is pretty standard fair. There's a lot of games out there like this where you're just collecting your currency and then cashing them in to um against contracts to get you points.
- I loved how simple the turn system in this game is.
- This game kept it so clean and easy to understand, but kept the deduction part of the game really juicy.
- This is definitely one of the best ones that I've played.
- Be aware this game is barely a board game, although it is a game you play on a board.
- So think of it more of a storytelling game, more of a role-playing adjacent game than a traditional, you know, board game where you're making tons of decisions. More of a choose your own adventure if you want to put it that way.
- So, you know, the game is a mish mash of random encounters, but the stories you can tell over the course of the game are really enjoyable.
- So for me, this is almost like a time piece game that I'll keep for the rest of my life.
