Quotes (from this video)
- the game feels like these choices ramp up as the game goes on because near the end sometimes you have those choices that are very hard to make and you really are making the choice of where you want to score your points at
- and for those reasons this game is a really great game and it includes some tough choices but then it plays under 30 minutes I mean that's a dream come true for a lot of people
- the components are absolutely lovely these tiles are not just normal tiles but they make it so it actually feels like umbrellas are filling up the streets with a lifted appearance uh you know with the Dome shape the colors are nice and bright
