   One of the most simple & addictive solo game out there. Components are top notch (custom dice, plastic cards) and the game can be played everywhere (small box, small table presence). Replayability is already high when playing the "classic" game, but when using the recipes (2 different goal per game), it adds another very interesting challenge. Highly recommended.

   One of my very best small-box solo games. I'm sure I've sold at least a few copies from curious passers by asking about this lovely little game.
