Finally got it and played and... I have to disagree with Zee a bit: this game is Good, like X Nimmt good. Plus a much better theme, art and components (don't worry people, cards here a *good*, just thicker than Zee prefers). If X Nimmt is getting 8, then I can't see why In Front of the Elevators should be below 7. I will say for me it's 7.5-8 for a small card game, in part because it's just so cozy and warm, while being super cutthroat.
Maybe there will be a sequel based on pushing the buttons once inside the elevator? I’ve heard that that is a prestigious position in Japan. I could see how such a game might have a bit more going on. I couldn’t help but think of Beasty Bar during the description of this game. I wish Beasty Bar was more readily available in the USA.
Zee really needs to play Sylvion, Castellion and the new Aerion as e solo play similar to what he done with nautilion and onirim. What happened with that? At quarentine this is a nice video sugestion
So this is essentially Beasty Bar with less cool abilities and different scoring. The three "lanes" are nice, but not too much improvement. And the theme? Hmm. Does not make much sense, but it is nice..
I wonder if this will make the Top 10 elevator games list.
This is just a top floor game. 😎
Ahhh, finaly Zee found a game that suits his outro music....

This game looks like it might be okay but let's face it, this theme has been done to death!

Yeah Im looking up this game and Beastie Bar, and they aren't easy to find in the USA, where do people pick these up? Ebay maybe?
game clearly needs minis
Thanks, Zee great review as usual.

They should add fart card... Really hate it when people fart in elevator
Do I smell an expansion coming?

Martin Sonnleitner It makes sense in Japan where they actually do this.
