Remnants (Geek Daily): “This game was a real hoot to play. Getting through the first couple of turns the first time is really what teaches the game but that meant a good portion of the game was done before we were really ready to put our strategies to good use. Playing through again really brought home the concepts of the game and it was that much more fun.”
