My BGG Comment

Only played a solo so far but this has the potential to be on the table with almost everyone I play games with. Love the movement around the town to select actions.

Another game that I may possibly be keeping because of the great cover--which is even nicer iRL. (Though the action selection is great, too) I like the unusual color scheme here.
