Quotes (from this video)

• The game and the theme and the art style are very nice. I really really enjoy these cute cat images here.
• I really like that the game is very luck based. Definitely it is. But I have been able to consistently get good scores. So it is possible to like mitigate your luck a little bit.
• Also, what I really like is that not everybody is building like their own tableau like in many many like solitaire puzzly games, so to speak nowadays, but actually you have like a common tableau, right? And if you can't place anything in your column, you have to place it into a column of an opponent. And I think that's a really cool touch.
