"Simple, dark, powerful short stories about families, break-ups and their kids caught in between. Love the restraint. It’s all brewing under the surface, less is more."

Good Game for young kids....
it's a fun little game, doesn't take very long unless everyone is distracted. Which sometimes happens with young kids. The good news with this is that it's not hard to jump right in and take someone else's turn, so you can play teams, and the adults can play and let the kids sub in if you like. There is a very real strategy in placement, so the game goes deeper if you want it. There is a also a feeling of not being threatened for the first 5-10 turns. there's not much analysis paralysis until late in the game when options are low. so it's an ok game for Adults, but a very good game for kids.

This is a fun game! I like the solo option, too. Unfortunately, I don't have a great brain for this type of spatial thinking.

Contains spoilers, click to show
The story starts out intriguing with the population of children in the world drastically decreasing due to some unknown illness killing most of them. The children who somehow survive develop powers, which is worrisome for the government. These kids are put in camps to keep track of them. The kids are separated by the type of power they have and they are color coded. The main character is an orange, which is one of the more dangerous powers, mind control. She touched her parents while they slept and accidentally erased their memory of her. She has to fake being a lower risk color as reds and oranges are killed. She eventually breaks out of the camp and finds other kids to bond with and together they try to find a safe place.
