"I love this morbid and mischievous book! The story traces how a man commits murder by indulging in his greatest obsession: his sense of smell. It’s about passion, desire and doing whatever it takes to experience perfection, in this case, the ultimate perfume. But does this all equal happiness? The book explores and uncovers the drive for the unattainable."

"Intense soundtracks can feel intrusive and distracting, but these feel like perfect uses of (nice ‘n’ loud!) familiar songs in film. I’m so moved to happiness by the way the characters’ boiling-over thoughts, hopes, and dreams seem to be broadcast out of their internal lives and into this remarkable world created by Wong Kar-wai."

Some Good Games, Some Dull Games
I love Cyanide and Happiness. It is awesome. So I Kickstarted this game when it came out without any hesitation. The idea is pretty simple and similar to Cards Against Humanity with pictures. Everyone has seven cards. You draw one from the pile and play as the first card, the Judge plays another card either in front or behind the first card and then everyone else plays a card to complete the comic strip. Then the Judge decides who wins.

It can be totally hilarious and I have played games where my sides have hurt from laughing. I've even cried. Sadly, I have also had games where the images just don't work and nothing is funny and it is just a bit awkward as players try to play something and fail.

That being said, it is an easy beer and pretzels game that does what it sets out to do reasonably well. If you love Cyanide and Happiness and are willing to take the risk of some dull rounds (or even whole games) then it is definitely worth adding to your collection for those games where everything just drops into place.
