The value story

The value story

Across all 116 discounts in the 11 years tracked, the median cut is 85 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 12 days ago.

It is less well reviewed than 97 percent of its genre. Gnomoria ($14.99, scores 30) outscores it, and so does Stonehearth ($19.99, scores 45). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
