  • The solo mode is an interesting and satisfying puzzle.
  • The expansion adds more interesting scoring and more options.
  • Clever and satisfying competitive mode.
  • Good for a light, quick game.
  • Good brain burn despite being a light game.
  • Can be a good game to pull out and play at a convention.
  • Tableau building where others can mess with your tableau is interesting.

Cons

Quotes (from this video)
  • I think this game has a beautiful simplicity to it, but there are just enough different variants in the scoring to keep it interesting every single time.
  • The game definitely suffers from small text because all the cards do different things.
  • I think this game is super super clever.
  • a really really pleasant surprise with this one and considering the small box and the small price tag, I think this one is a really good bet.
