Reviews
Marrakech (Gaming With Sidekicks): “This game is a great family game and one that we have been pulling out for after dinner to enjoy together. The kids pick it up quick as there aren’t a lot of hard decisions or steps to it. Our older family members enjoy it also and have commented on how pretty it is with the rugs being one of the more unique game components I have ever seen.”

A Tale of Carrot: Rise of Hero (Geek Daily): “The mechanics are simple and clean but it felt like there was something missing, like you wanted to be able to do more and the game had the space to do it.”

The Great Split (Meeple Mountain): “The Great Split shines best as a family-weight game that can and should be played with older kids, especially when one considers that it’s almost impossible to not score a ton of points. That’s where it will reside for now at my home: the family game closet!”
