Reviews
Cheeky Monkey (iSlaytheDragon): “A short, simple press-your-luck game that knows what it’s about and won’t outstay its welcome. It’s simple enough a five-year-old can understand it, but clever enough that a thirty-five-year-old can appreciate it.”

Murder on the Cosmic Express  (Everything Board Games): “The roles are very clear and the quick gameplay makes it something you can play as a filler between games, or play multiple times if people are into it.”

Pie Rats of the Carob Bean (A Pawn’s Perspective): “It’s simple, cute, and quick. It just doesn’t differentiate itself enough to really warrant a space in our collection.”
