Fantastic Factories (Brave New Board Games): “It's easy and accessible, simple but strategic, the artwork is great and I could pull this off of the shelf again and again for a quick game. I see this one seeing our table often.”

The Mind (A Pawn’s Perspective): “Playable by just about anyone no matter their tact, mental fortitude, or ability to read others’ emotions. It’s one of those games that after you play it you think to yourself, “How come I didn’t think up this game?”
