What owners single out
In their words
“The game is easy to learn. I played it first against my mom, who forgets how to open a new tab on a browser, and she learned it readily. I played it next against my 7 year old son, and he learned it well enough to set it up for himself afterwards, which he did because he wanted to play it some more.”

“This is a game with very simple rules and quick to set up. For up to 4 players, every game is different due to the fact that the board pieces are placed anew and in a different conformation for each game.”
