The value story

The value story

It has been discounted 7 times in the 8 months tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 20 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 4 days ago.

Against its own genre its score lands in the top 1 percent. It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. The nearest things to it, Prismata (free, scores 54) and Islands of Insight ($29.99, scores 33), are both worse buys on this math.

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $35.51.
