Canon, but not really worth the read.

One spoiler ahead that doesn't really add much but it's nice to know, if we didn't know it already.

A pretty poor attempt at a Star Wars story, especially as it's considered canon.

This may be the second earliest installment in the Star Wars canon, but it fails to add anything to the saga, apart from we find out that Count Dooku was Qui-Gon Jin's master.

The story is mainly based around an adventure featuring Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan involving something about a princess and some jewel thieves...pretty uninspiring characters in terms of originality.

A nice coming of age film

An Australian film based in a large department store, mainly the ladies department and the staff who work there. The main story is about a sixteen year old girl who has got a Christmas job working there (mind you it is strange because the film is based around Christmas and yet it is not, they are all on the beach and they keep calling it summer. Anyway back to the film the main character is a 16 year old girl who blossoms throughout the film from help from other members of staff. Enjoyable and a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.

Contents are good quality and game play has very little downtime as all players play simultaneously. (0 more)
Some of the books (component listing what each ingredient'effect is) feel like their bonus is not worth their cost, meaning less people engage in using them as a strategy. (0 more)
Quacks is brilliant
An enjoyable game with a nice theme. The game play is quick and fun with multiple strategies available.

I'm not the luckiest person when it comes to boardgames, but I still enjoyed the risk factor of removing an extra ingredient just to move further around your swirling board... Even if it did regularly end in my potion exploding.
