My BGG Comment
Relatively "basic" hex-tile layer with some stacking. Lacks an official solo-mode but I use the Cascadia style of just dropping the tile furthest down between my turns and it works. Lacks the variability of Cascadia though and the puzzle is more boring. Multiplayer is fine. It is staying for now but might wander off into a friends collection if I find someone who enjoys it more than I do.
