It’s not ark Nova. This game is spooky tower. You play it to have fun and race to the end over 10 minutes. I don’t take it that seriously but I’m getting pretty good so that might change. I do agree the first turn advantage is real and your analysis is sound. Home rules with a boxed copy would fix. ...

I wish there were more big button limited choice games for active people. 7 wonders architect comes to mind. For what this game is it is pretty cool. Two is a push your luck push your card. What a cool mechanism. Flip 7 hits that spot too.

I play on the bike at the gym. I love this game. It is luck based but with mitigation. 5-1-12 is a thing as is playing the flashlights early. However if everyone knows then it is a race.

Already a favorite of mine. It's simple, you will understand most of it in 5 minutes. Everyone goes for t...

If you over shoot the target score you are penalized. So if you are trying for a 88 and score 100, you are penalized for it. The solo mode has you zoning into a specific target. It is a lot more difficult then it appears. This game has so many unique and great design choices!

I just want to say, for a first time, this game is excellent! One of my favorite games on BGA and the solo mode also must not have been easy and I appreated the effort it must have taken. How much effort does coding something like this take in let's say man weeks?
