Fully agree! This game is a great family game that works well with gamers. One thing I also missed in the rules first... You use the rats themselves on the top scoring track and not the scoring cubes...
Played with 5 in my Saturday Board Game group and it worked wonderfully. A little tighter with that many players but very good. We all said the same thing after the first turn - we had about an hour and half and we were like no way we finish. But we finished in about 100 minutes. Cannot wait to play solo. I love that this has a unique theme - not too heavy at all. Board is fun if a little busy. But this is more thinky than you'd think. I don't see this as super family weight at all - all 5 of us thought this was way more complex than it looks. I play with my daughter and she doesn't do beige euro's - but she'll play any game that actually is a euro or very similar but has a theme (e.g. Creature Comforts, HoneyBuzz, Wild Serengeti). This was a much bigger win than I thought. I would have loved a deluxified version with higher quality tokens and such. But this one does the trick!
I have ordered it on my local game store. When I first heard of the game, I fell in love with the theme and artwork. I am glad that it really seems to be a good game, and I am looking forward to play it.👍
You can actually use the solo rules in multiplayer games to make the board tighter. Whilst I wouldn't personally choose to play that way, if it was my only option then I'd consider it.
I've played it today, brilliant little game!
Want it! Simple games get to the table more!

Higher quality tokens? I wouldn't know how to improve the ones it has; they are perfect.

Hope you enjoy!
I was interested because of Virginio Gigli, but wow, it does looks cute and solid for it's weight. Some parts of it are giving me Teotihuacan vibes.
Whats the ranking of your shields? Quality shield is the best one?
Shield of Quality was 7+
Elite Shield was 8.5+
Would it work as a game for couples or do you need at least 3-4 players? ;)

Works perfectly well with two.
