But thankfully, a genius of our time has gone and enunciated with UNCANNY accuracy all of its problems.<br /><br />In the interest of not spamming your comments, and b/c the point of your review was to not read the other reviews, I'll just say it's the 2nd most popular review on BGG.<br /><br />Oh well, there's always more games.

I love solitaire/solo games. This is really a puzzle game instead of a standard adventure, and the way the challenges emerge organically from this game makes each game different to me.<br /><br />I do have to take breaks between plays, because it really taxes the old brain cells. In fact, it's been over a month since I played my last game. I'll need to get this back on the table, assuming I haven't forgotten how to play.<br /><br />The game certainly isn't for everyone, and one can never overstate the steep learning curve of the game. I am delighted that you were able to give it a shot so I can be entertained by your review.Davidnoreply@blogger.com
