Some suggestions: the components were rated by a Dr. of Components, but the rules only by a Diploma...staff could be improved.😉 Also, going forward i think separate Joy and Stress ratings are the way to go 😂😂 Actually if anything, the stress rating sold me on the game!
Interesting review. I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to switch the stress level off somehow. I backed this - so I am biased, off course. But this games plays great solo (my preferred way). I especially love the modular - and shifting - game board, as well as the varieties of the set-up options. It is such a unique game. As a former video-gamer, who loved Bioshock, it is phantastic. Art and components top-notch.
I really liked the game, but it’s a genre that always stresses out Sunniva! I didn’t know it was to this degree, so it will probably be a while till we play a game like this again 😅
I own and have played this game several times, there are particular setups based on player count . 1_co-op, 2_vs(best plays I have had) 3_co-op ,4_1vs many. Playing it in other ways does feel off , and will make the game longer. The game at its heart is vs , each side with three agents
A good review. Though I have only one nitpick, and that to call it a hidden movement game is a definite mischaracterization. There is NO hidden movement. When a Hero or Servant moves, their move is not hidden. Everyone can see where they moved to. Instead, it IS a "programmed movement" game. The Heroes' moves are programmed in advance. That's far different than being hidden, even if the programming is kept secret. To be pedantic. Also, you ought to give the solo mode a try!
Thank you so much for this review. Apparently there is a co-op version. If you imagine the city player run by a card deck, would that decrease the stress and increase the fun?
Played a 4p game yesterday and I really disliked it. My biggest problem was that the main mechanic of this game is undoing actions your opponent made last turn. And you only get 1 action each turn. I couldnt wait for it to be over
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! No game is for everyone, and I guess you know this one isn't for you now, hehe! Hope you'll have other, better, experiences soon :D

Hahahah, glad you liked it, and hope you’ll enjoy the review! I’ll go right back to school to get better degrees!
This is a great two player game (and maybe solo, haven't played yet). But I wouldn't want to play it with more people.
Love your videos, thank you so much.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 🤩

That makes sense! It just kind of feel like it, but you are right. :) Glad you enjoyed the review!

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, there is a coop version, but as coop games aren’t our favorite, we didn’t end up trying it out!
