BY OUTLANDISH GAMES

"The art is charming, the gameplay is good, but what caught my attention is that they went back to the drawing board as a design team to make the game better. I love it when publishers and designers are willing to revisit a game and learn from the feedback from players. It's tough, but with less rules, charming art, an expansion, and a fight against the machines, I think it would be a great one for game night."
