Unpredictable
Challenging nostalgic fun
Backed this game on Kickstarter on a whim, easily the best game my wife and I have bought on there. The art style reminds me of sketches from a notebook my friends would draw in high school, I can see how some people don't like it but it's really grown on us. Moreover, the base game is very unpredictable and that can make it turn from feeling easy to a grim defeat rather quickly which makes it a great challenge game.

20-something friends James and Skip are starting a moving company, but in their first load of stuff, they find a severed finger with their high school class ring on it. It took me a while to get into the book because there is more language and drinking than I normally like, but I was soon hooked by the characters and intriguing story.

"Well, let’s go one, La Strada, which is Federico Fellini’s movie with Anthony Quinn and Giulietta Masina. When was the first time I saw it? Oh, my God, I was in high school. To me, it felt like a fable, and it was beautiful and so moving, and I cry every time I see it. I’m almost crying thinking about it. How both broadly drawn and subtle the characters are, and how much sympathy Fellini has for the people in the movie. Have you ever seen it?"
