The perfect game. The board and pieces are visually attractive and it requires a good dose of strategy without becoming overwhelming, it is in fact quite easy for new players to pick it up. No dice roll (great!), it is fun as you play and a match takes around 60 min... Typically everyone feels it has a chance to win until the end, so it is quite engaging all the way. It does not create direct conflict among players so it is great option for families and close friends, nobody will start arguing in the middle of the match (unless you forget to take your meds). It is best played with 4 players. It is fine but crowded with 5 people, it is fine but not as exciting with 3, and it is ok with 2. Recommended!
