    Novel, challenging cooperative game of logic and deduction

    My family has really enjoyed this game. We keep going back to it. I love that it is a cooperative game. I also like the fact that it requires logical and deductive thinking (so, BTW, it is not for kids). In my experience it is very different from other games, so it takes a while to learn. But the play starts "easy" and quickly gets quite challenging and more varied as you play it more times, although you could stick with the easier setups and the play is still different every time.

    The "fixed" Hanabi I never knew I wanted. My personal Game of the Year 2025 overall

    For my group, this game was immediately compared (very favorably) to Hanabi, but without the brain-breaking task of remembering all the information you've been given or the potential that the game would be dealt out in a way that meant you might find out after an hour of playing that you were just doomed from the start with how the deck was shuffled. Fixing the need to constantly remember a dozen things between each of your turns in particular really unlocked the potential for table talk and game night banter that I've sometimes felt Hanabi lacked (especially with players who ended up taking i

    Funnest game of 2026

    Such a fun game to play with adults and children. Not too complicated of a game to learn and provides countless hours of fun. Small enough to bring to game nights and friends house to play and is always the biggest hit at the party. Hopefully they make an expansion to play more than 5 people

    Co-op game that is fun and still provides a little tension

    Fantastic game if your group is up for a little cooperative bomb disposal. Dramatically reduced alpha player problem because communication is restricted and information asymmetry keeps everyone from knowing the same things. Lots of different missions provide replay value

    Unique, definitely worthwhile coop game, some head-scratching to learn some rules and abilities

    We play it as a family of 4 and enjoy it, but it did take some minor head-scratching to understand some rules and the purpose of some features, even though they work hard to make it digestible by incrementally adding features to each scenario.I love that it's co-op, and crazy, and is going to result in everybody messing up and learning that's okay, and to work better together. Our kids are 14 and 10, and the older child is really sharp, while the younger child gets frustrated when making mistakes.It's challenging, too - we failed most scenarios at least once, which was actually good!
