My BGG Comment
Very fun deduction puzzles that are a bit like Einstein puzzles. Can be soloed as the puzzles are generated and do not need other players for input. Initial puzzles are very easy—hope this ramps up. One niggle: to set up a game you need to get numbered cards from stacks and to tear down you have to sort them back in. This is a reason I have moved on several other games… but how else would this work. I get it. Overall great deduction game.
