   Components: thin cards, but not a disaster Complex: easy to learn and teach Weight: family Players: 3 or 4 Length: around 30 mins Mechanics: deduction Decisions: enough for this game Opinion: lovely deduction game, not much to say about it but it is lovely. There is a set of ingredients in different colors, and not the same amount. You select one space asking for information, giving cards and receiving cards trying to solve the cure for the great disease. This disease must be healed with 2 specific ingredients selected in secret at the beginning of the round, you have to guess which ones and, for doing so, you will give ingredients of one color in order to get information on a different one, or just ask, or... In the end you will be thinking what the hell is hidden on the cure

   I can see why the rating for this game is relatively mediocre. I can't explain it exactly, but something about the card giving feels really weird. Moreover, the type of decisions you make each turn don't really change. That being said, I love me some logical deduction, and the the card taking while weird is clever. It is also more fun to deduce based on exchanges between other players than it is of when it is your turn, as for those exchanges you have imperfect information.

   Cluedo, maar moeilijker omdat je kaarten doorgeeft. Deductie spellen, nooit echt mijn ding. Weer eens bewezen.
