“There’s only 23 cards, so 18.. there’s 7 left over”.
And Tom was a maths teacher.
Not trolling, just humorous 😉

I played this a few times at the Dice Tower Cruise pre-launch party. The first play was interesting but it got less enjoyable with each of the following plays. The game is a one trick pony and once you've seen the trick it's easy to get bored with it. My girlfriend was eliminated halfway through the first round before she even got a turn to play which I think is a severe flaw in any game no matter how short it's supposed to be.

Guess I'm the weird one here because I love to play this. I played it about 20 times on the DiceTower Cruise. It is silly but also amusing. However, once you have some idea about the cards (which doesn't take long since there are only 23), you do have some thinking to do about what others might have. And since some cards are out of play with smaller player counts, each game can be quite different in terms of what might happen.

I played this with Tom on the Cruise. He was very polite to the designer/tester. I've been waiting to see his review becasue his face was very easy to read.

Outlier here. I enjoy this game quite a bit. There is some strategy where (, like flux) the ordwe in which you play yoour cards can make a big difference.

Eh, doesn’t look like a fun game for my group.

Eh doesn't look that fun. The silliness would get old after 1 or 2 plays.
