Now I have a huge table taking up most of the space in that room. However, I remembered my experiences with the cats and piles of cardboard, so I had to scoot the table into my tiny library where my shelves of games live. I set it up on a folding table in the studio, then realized the game would work best if I left it out. So I’m hopefully that my 3rd attempt will be more productive.īut what do I think of the game?
