The gameplay features an engaging dice rolling mechanic enhanced by tools that increase the dice total, contributing to a smooth experience with minimal glitches. However, it feels somewhat outdated compared to newer worker-placement games, with slow animations and an AI that may not provide a challenging experience even on easy difficulty.
“The dice rolling mechanic adds a bit of excitement, and the use of tools to add to the dice total is pretty cool.”
“Gameplay is smooth, and I have had no significant glitches, although I have only played solo against the AI.”
“Gameplay is a bit dated by now though (better worker-placement games have come along since), the animations are slow, and my god if that's the AI on easy, I wouldn't want to play it on hard.”
