Reviews
Snowman Dice (The Meeple Street): “Simple, quick fun. It is a perfect fit for families with younger children. The game takes less than five minutes to explain, but will have all players laughing. Even when playing with all adults, I have found that it has an addictive quality, where players will want to play multiple times in a row.”

Silver (Geeks Under Grace): “When it comes to memory games, players are usually inherently good or inherently bad at them, depending upon how their brains work. In my opinion, this makes it tough for players to “get better” at memory games if they struggle with them, which can make them very polarizing.”

Catlantis (iSlaytheDragon): “Light and fluffy as a cat’s tail, and that’s okay. It’s not trying to be anything more than a silly, fun filler for cat lovers, kids, families, and non-gamers. It’s for those days when you need a smile and anything serious seems too difficult.”
