Reviews
Aqua (Geeks Under Grace): “At its core, Aqua is a simple tile drafting game, but a few wonky rules bog it down for me. I think some people will find it interesting, but for me, it's a game I'll probably only play once in a while.”

Skyrockets (Gaming With Sidekicks): “If you enjoy real-time, cooperative games that give everyone a chance to work together in a speedy setting this is a game for you. Although it is not my personal favorite type of style for games I can see where this one would be popular and for my friends that enjoy this type of gameplay they had a great time.”

Clever Cubed (GeekDaily): “I like this game. It’s fast, easy, and compact. It’s fun to play solo. The feeling you get from setting up a combo that stretches on to another and another. I’m keeping this in my collection.”
