Played this game for the first time recently and had fun! Luck of the draw, strategy and awareness of the others boards are involved. The game is thoughtful, well designed and even educational! All in all a good time with friends. Will be adding this to our game rotation.

You should definitely give this fun, new puzzle-type game a try. If you are an art lover or just like a new challenge, I would recommend this game.
The container for all the pieces is brightly colored and well constructed. I love the idea, the packaging and the family fun!!
