Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

  • spatial reasoning — very interesting game spatial relations
  • tile drafting — you will draft a piece and you will put it into your little tray that's like it's falling down and you will then set it right then you'll get to draft the next one

Quotes (from this video)
  • it cost me two things actions and resources
  • the print is that small cuz it does not need to be
  • the thing that I thought was cute with one piece is the same thing here is at the beginning of the game you take seven cards off the top of your deck and that's your life and when you take damage you take one of the life cards and discard it but there may be a trigger on it which does something like maybe puts it to your hand I thought that was kind of unique
