This is my ultimate travel game. It fits in my pocket and it's great to play while waiting for food in a restaurant. Lots of thinking in this short game.

I expected to like this game when I saw videos about it, but I would have never guessed how amazed I would be. This is such a smart tactical game played at the speed of light. Killed Patchwork for me

Enjoyable and addictive game-play with attractive graphics make for a fine addition to my collection of micro-games. Due to the ever-changing bonus conditions and card layout, the replay value of this interactive puzzle is outstanding. Update: Still one of our go-to 2pl micro-games; raised from 9 to 10, it is just perfect.

This game is actually deeply underrated. It's one of the best "bidding" systems I've ever seen - so good you don't even realize you're bidding. It's got take-that. Absolutely evil frontloaded 1st/2nd player decision - that's a game until itself! The combination of spatial puzzles can be brain burning. Incredible variablity. Literally feels like a different *game* altogether for each set of scoring goals. Probably in my Top 10 of all time games. My biggest criticism is that the scoring can be tedious.

This is the most loved game in our collection. I go to Origins, Gen Con, Spiel. I work at a game store. I get sent review copies. THIS is the game I tell everyone that ever plays two-player about. I buy several copies of this game and give them to people when they say they like it. It's a fantastic two player or solo game. SO GOOD. And so small.
