Reviews
Monster Baby Rescue (iSlaytheDragon): “It’s just a fun, family game that’s great for kids and non-gamers, but which is also fun for gamers who are happy to engage with a breezy, funny little game. Recommended for all but the most serious gamers, or those who have an aversion to fun.”

Ratzzia (I Play Red): “Doesn’t outstay it’s welcome as a twenty-minute dice chucker, the theme is cute and it doesn’t feel quite as brutal as King of Tokyo. If you don’t mind the luck of the dice or you’re good with them, check it out!”

The Isle of Cats (GeekDad): “From its whimsical, colorful artwork, to its high-quality components, to its engaging gameplay, you’ve already got a great addition to your game night. But add in a set of rules specifically geared towards playing with younger children, as well as another set for a fantastic solo mode? You’ve got a board game that may take up permanent residence in your collection, and hit the table quite often on game nights.”
