The game is truly unique, but it's not for me. The explanations are annoying; things appear every minute, but nothing is explained. I can say it's not as relaxing as it seems, or maybe I'm just too stupid to understand the randomness.

I bought this on the steam summer sale for $3.99 and honestly I wouldn't pay anymore for this. I was shocked to see so many negative reviews. Overall I liked this game. I played and failed a couple of times before I finally won one and for $4 bucks I think 5 hours of playtime is fair. I wouldn't play again due to the very repetitive nature of the game. I was disappointed to see how little variation was in the challenges and cards themselves. It left a lot to be desired. If the game had included more cards and challenges I think the replay-ability would definitely be there. Overall I do recommend this game if you like the genre but only if it's on sale. Do not pay $20 for this.

Wadahell is going on with these reviews? This game is fun, unique, and easily good enough to keep you hooked for hours. Feels like some people are trying way too hard to be professional critics. Just try it, it’s really fun.

It's a fun, comfortable game, with engaging mechanics that can be surprisingly challenging at times plus the aesthetics are on point. Sure it ain't remaking the genre but it doesn't need to anyways.

The game is challenging the first few times as you explore dynamics, but after winning my first on normal mode I managed to win easily on expert using the techniques I learnt along the way. It is not good for someone who can't handle failure and expects it to be cozy/easy. It requires planning and forethought. I really enjoy it.
