Tons of content in the box

Set up is a process
Lots of fun
Fun dungeon crawler with tons of in box content to discover and unlock through in game achievements. Our group had a lot of fun when we played our first 2 campaigns. It is truly enjoyable to crack the seal on new things that havent been revealed.

The problems we have run into though are the amount of time it takes to play and the fact that you should have the same group each play through, this has been our issue and caused us to all have to wait due to our group not being able to carve out enough time to commit to our 3rd campaign.

Large player count accommodates all kinds of groups. Family friendly and easy to learn. Great introduction to card drafting. Adorable artwork. (0 more)
Not as portable as standard Sushi Go, and a bit more fiddly to set up. Comes in a tin, not a box, which will annoy some people. Luck of the draw might bother some people. (0 more)

It is really is awful
Was looking for a new box set to watch and came across this one, absolutely abysmal. Watched the first episode and will not be watching any more. When you are used to watching TV series and films where the budgets are huge, it shows how much we have been treated to special effects. The budget on this was obviously quite low and it shows, also there is no need for all that sexual innuendos and language.

Movie Favorite

"The Teshigahara box set is so invaluable to my collection. Those three films have taught me so much about the power of collaboration. In tandem with Kobo Abe, Toru Takemitsu, and Toshi Ichiyanagi, Teshigahara was able to manifest three very disparate yet cohesive worlds. I was most surprised by Pitfall, which I find to be more overlooked than the other two films (Woman in the Dunes and The Face of Another). The existential desolation of this film is all-consuming."

Love's Second Chance Series Box Set One

This collection has 4 wonderful full-length novels. Each one has a character that has appeared before and all these can be read as a standalone also. The author is truly gifted and she describes love in a beautiful clean way. Her stories are all intriguing and gripping. The characters are well developed and have appeared previously which is lovely to see and follow.
I highly recommend these to be read.
I received the box set from the novelist herself but this is my honest opinion.

Chrissy Metz performs her heart out. When she smiles you'll smile and when she cries; your heart will melt. She is the star of the show. (0 more)
In my hubby's opinion, it left his dinner and bed unmade for 3 days. Sorry xxx (0 more)
One of America's well written box sets. It will keep most bottoms stuck to the sofas.
The production team and the cast have delivered a first rate box set drama that will have you goggle eyed and lazy. You will laugh out loud and be left wiping away tears as you come to know and love the many characters.

The show jumps between decades informing you of the characters past and present. I know this can be not only annoying but also confusing. This is not the case in "This is us" Hat off to the production team and writers
