As others have said the game pieces stink hence a loss of a star

    However there are some errata issues you may want to watch a youtube video in order to figure out the rules

    Its a very backstabby game


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Some constructive feedback i would give is that they should have really created more aperturecharacter cards i know that there arent many characters in the game but of course you can always give life to inanimate objects to make the recycle less frequent and keep the game more fresh

    When we first started playing with a group of four we would walk through verbally each step


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The game says it could last between 2040 min
