Critic Reviews

A very cool concept, a very cool game -- Bryan Drake The Dice Tower
Combines the chin-scratching of a classic abstract, with card-driven movement that gives it an edge of randomness and timing -- Matt Thrower Senet 8
A very clever, very tricky, two-player abstract puzzle. Punchboard
...very unique, very interesting. It is definitely an entertaining and fun game. MarcoOmniGamer
It’s tense, mechanically tight, and encourages repeat play. Staying In Podcast
