What players say
Played this game a lot a number of years ago (2016). I have never forgotten how much fun I had whilst playing. Its worth a punt.
1 more review
Enjoying it a lot since it has huge random and relatively radical skills. Also a notable "one more turn" example. Simple, fast, not punishing, not demanding. Playable with mouse only, so can be played fine from phone + steam link, and works fine with native touch screens too.
