Rating could be anything from 6 to 10. I'm setting it to 9 after one play because I won. ;) If I lose next time, it'll go down to an 8. ;) Honestly, though, this is again a very well rounded game by Mr. Catala, which combines simple game mechanics ("Go fish" in this case, a simple bidding mechanic in Cyclades) with elegant design, which is a breeze to play. I like it!

It landed surprisingly well in my collection. I didn't expected it to get such good reactions from my friends and myself. The rules before trying it out seemed very foggy and strange, but once played, the game shines with its pure originality. And it's not just original to be original and therefore very clumsy, it's original, fresh and polished, it has some mechanics, that feel new, work great and makes this game unique. In advance it has amazing art design, it's beautiful, and though it's lore is not described too well, the theme is strong and it feels great. As for the components - they are all really good, especially I like pearls as currency, awesome idea.

Cópia adquirida com um dos parceiros comerciais, o Pittas! Update: depois de ter jogado com a expansão, esse pode ser eleito facilmente como o melhor euro leve da minha coleção. Gostoso de jogar, fácil de explicar e com o setup mais ágil que já vi recentemente. O tema é mero pano de fundo aqui e se aplica relativamente bem a mecânica do jogo, que é simples e funcional. Arte belíssima, qualidade dos componentes excepcional. Recomendo em qualquer coleção, porém ele depende da expansão.
