    Many cite the "static" feeling Foxen. They are your Control Group. If they had too many options, they game would overwhelm as Tom noted about similar designs.
    What is in the box is perfect. Better to expand a rock solid design then flood with too much too soon

    I love the production and I was enamored with it from the Kickstarter. It wasn't clear that it wasn't just overproduced. The game play seemed like it could be pretty simplistic and maybe that $50 might go better towards something else. As it is, my two player game queue is overflowing and I'm still not convinced this is a must have design as far as game play is concerned. Does the game play fit in the same space as Haven? They me be markedly different in their mechanics, but maybe that is a cheaper and just as pretty alternative. "Why not both," you ask? Why not indeed. They're still fun to display.

    Awesome game. I think it would literally be 10x as popular if it had different art on the cover and a different name.
    The art is gorgeous but the cover art is stylistic but really lacking the beauty of all the rest of the art in the game. Or even the art on the side or the box for that matter.
    And the name really hurts this game in my opinion. It’s weird to say and doesn’t explain anything about the game.
    So between the two, this game just doesn’t have the shelf presence it deserves. I wish those seemingly minor two things were different because the game would get so much more attention on a store shelf or when saying the name to a friend.
