    Very fun. It's not always clear what you should be doing, but I think learning how the game works is part of the game anyways. Beautiful art.

    Pretty fun SP boardgame. NB: Managing RNG is very important.

    I recall playing this ages ago and the experience wasn't too good. +Some player choice -RNG felt the main issue -UX/UI - looks and feels amateurish -Aesthetics - looks amateurish = Neutralish review, although my experience was towards a disappointment as such.
