   Abstract game to try and align the cubes in a row so you can collect them. You need the cubes so you can gain the items and advance on the second board to try and get the tokens worth some points. Lots of interweaving scoring happens at the end between all of these things. Can lead to AP since you can't plan in between turns since the board moves around too much.

   The best thing about this is the spatial puzzle, and it is quite satisfying to play the cards to manipulate the different coloured cubes and the tiles. There are several ambiguities in the rulebook which marred our first experience of the game, but we worked things out eventually. Component quality quite poor, at least in my version, with mishappen cubes. Tends to drag, though. Rating reduced to 5 to 1 to counter the 10 rating given by the game's designer. Fancy rating one's own game!

   Lot of mechanisms I like. Set collection, tile rotation, variable card play, ...... Seems like staying in the middle is the preferred space. Unclear whether you shuffle cards once or reshuffle. Needs more plays to see if it stays.
