   Cindy requires chocobo games. I must provide. This is not a 2 player game, turns out. Reserving judgement after we play higher counts. It's shockingly similar to a game she was working on a while back, so that's been weird.

   Played this a few months ago at UKGE. It's an OK lightweight family game, but *absoloutely* not worth it at the asking price (£36). You're paying a premium simply for the FF licence here; the components and mechanics certainly don't warrant it. IMO, wait until you can get it at around £20-£25.

   6 = OK It's certainly visually appealing, but the gameplay is a little too basic. Move a team of chocobos to collect "pals" to bring to your nest, like a capture the flag kind of objective. Best features: + Easy to teach + Game components are appealing. The "friend cards" that let you do special little moves look great and are easy to remember + Fast pace due to simplicity The meh: - If I'm remembering correctly, rolling a "1" only allows you to draw a card, and that's it. Rolling numbers that let you move (and potentially be able to call a chocobo pal to your party) seem a LOT more useful. I think if you could move a piece 1 space AND draw a card, it might be a little more balanced - It's a little TOO "light" especially since it's a pretty BIG board (and was rather pricey). I don't have buyer's remorse although I was kind of like "oh, that's all you do" after a playthrough
