    The retail edition now available in the US has player aids that don't have the Kickstarter pieces listed so they are more clear.

    I like that it looks so simple and easy to teach. It might be a little too simple for most gamers, but might be a good way to introduce new players to the hobby. The price is really what bothers me though. Looking into the kickstarter, I saw it was €49 to get the base game and 1 of the current expansions (they didn't even have an option for just the base game).
    this is the kind of game I would pick up at Target or Walmart for someone I'm trying to get into gaming, but isn't a huge fan for like $20-25. I can't see paying much more than that for it though. Certainly not upwards of $60.

    I also backed this one and I can’t wait to add this to my game library I keep at work. I think this will work well for a variety of people and should play quickly enough to enjoy over lunch.

    This looks great but seems a tad simple for my tastes. Maybe there is an extra layer there with the expansions.

    *Why on Earth is it 13+ ?*
    I just got this to play with my 8 and 11 yr old for spatial learning and rotational geometry in our Math class and I was looking at it with my 3 yr old. She was having a great time putting in pieces and then telling me which ones she needed to fill the cards. She's 3! I haven't played yet (watching the review for a how to play), but I don't think it will take her another decade to figure out how to upgrade and swap out her pieces, or select cards that she can fill...unless there is something I missed? Some deeper complexity? A little nervous about spending our monthly gaming budget on this one now if I am going to have to wait a few years to play it with my eldest if its secretly complex 😬 😞

    • @chrishillery
      @chrishillery ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's pretty common for hobby games to list ages 13+, because the US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act defines much more strict safety requirements for "children's products" which are generally defined as products intended for use by children under 13. It doesn't have anything to do with a minimum age that could potentially enjoy the game; it's just easier for the manufacturers to avoid the legal overhead, unless the game really is specifically intended for younger children.

    I so love your game reviews, my friends and I always go to you for your opinion on games that we’re looking to get/play…
    but this review just seemed to be a “sloppy” review that felt like you’re just rushing to “get it(the review) done”
    Cards were tossed, and flipped upside-down, quick basic explanation, not a lot of detail into the rules..
    Sorry- my feeling vs all your other awesome reviews.
