This is an excellent game - and I don't typically enjoy the abstract strategy genre. It has a simple rule set, but you can discover more and more strategic depth as you play more games. I like that it can be modified to play with younger players (only getting 3 kittens in a row as the game end condition). We gave this a gift and the recipients, who aren't huge gamers, were thrilled with both the components and gameplay. I highly recommend.
This is one of the best Knizia designs in years, rivalling some of his classics. This brilliant design should be in every gamers collection. The drafting mechanism and interesting areas to interact with make this a keeper. It is recommended for 3-4 players until the expansion is released. GET this game! When you are addicted, get the expansion so you can enjoy the game 2-player and elevate the 3-4-player experience.
I love the small amount of table space this game takes up. It offers a great tutorial level to introduce you to the rules, though I did find it helpful to watch a playthrough video as well before my first game. I like how easily you can modify the difficulty.
Beautiful and fun game that’s quick to understand and start playing. There’s tons of cards to add variety so you will find a new strategy each play-through. Works great at every player count.
The solo mode is also fantastic! Highly recommend for solo if you want something cute and cozy!
