Review: Such a wonderful and enjoyable game. - I really enjoyed the simplicity of this game it has light but interesting decisions that was fun to play through. I felt the game was quick and each turn the turns were snappy and rounds were easy to plan out. Definitely a keeper. As an added bonus the solo mode was super easy and low key to manage and felt like a real player. Great game.
