Pros
- Quick and cheap
- Small footprint
- The theme of home design is underrepresented
- One idea with tiles that have a white line indicating they must be placed against the wall makes sense
- Plants scoring points for adjacent empty spaces
- Potentially a solid gateway game for younger kids
Cons
- Not great
- Half-baked
- Not a lot going for it
- Awful board
- Confusing turn order
- Lack of meaningful spatial awareness
- Rooms feel smaller due to doorways
- Rooms get filled quickly
- Doesn't give a fun home decor theme
- Lack of restrictions on most tile placements
- No strategic depth
- Houses littered with rugs
- No thematic or enticing reason to place things a certain way
- Reviewer's home looked like tables back to back
- Essentially a polyomino game with a home theme slapped on
Thematic elements
- Home design
Comparison games
- Dream Home
- Castle of Mad King Ludwig
- Suburbia

Quotes (from this video)
- I feel like yes I understand that this is clearly meant to be for a younger audience and I'm probably ripping on it way more than it actually deserves
- I'm going give it like a four out of 10 I think it's a below average game I wouldn't spend the money on it

Quotes (from this video)
- This has become like a sleeper hit for me.
- It is such a good two-player deduction game is trying to figure out the sequence of asking the right questions faster than your opponent asks the right question.
- Tranquility to the Scent is still an excellent version of it.
- It's basically an auto battler, but such a clever auto battler.
- I do not think it's a forever game.
- for right now, it has managed to persevere and we'll see how long it lasts.
- both have a uh I don't want to say permanent because nothing's permanent, but permanent spot in my collection.
- another easy win.
- Jungo was definitely a hit for me.
- that was a solid one that I definitely am happy I picked up.
- Santorini Pantheon Edition and Arnuk Adventure Chest are easy wins over there
- Again, another iteration of a system I already have.
- I like it, but Lana is not my favorite game system.
- It is good to have, but if I got rid of it, it would not be the end of the world.
- If I didn't get it, I'd be fine.
- my kids like it, but my cats like it more.
- I'm uncertain of the longevity.
- Waddle is great. I don't think it's a mustave.

Quotes (from this video)
- I bought six copies of Bird Bingo and we can pass out Bingo sheets and we can pull some birds out and make weird noises
- the box for this one is absolutely stunning you literally creating the hanging gardens of Babylon
- Layers by KTBG it's actually a two-player only game
- Barcelona with the new expansion which unfortunately Bor and dice weren't able to get their copies here in time so the expansion is only for pre-sale
- No One Ever Knows what cards you have in your hand nor do they know what you have discarded
