I love this game. Although I must admit that I usually fall back on BGA to play it solo, to net spend half the game in setup/cleanup. Although I did see someone who made 'bookmarks' to indicate where the cards came from in the big stack to make the cleanup faster. It did feel like you guessed on a 50/50 in the harder game, as both 424 and 224 were still possibilities with the info you had at that point. both blue > yellow and blue < purple were still options for verifier E, leading to different results.
nice review, i was one of the lucky few who managed to track this down near launch as a primarily solo game for me to play as a bit of a wordle / sudoko thing.... its such an awesome little game but i'll be honest, it struggles to get on the table like i planned it was supposed to be something i play during lunch when i work from home but there always seems to be other games on my table so it hasn't happened as much as i would like, no fault of the game though it's fantastic, i am a programmer by trade and this game just feels like it was made by computer scientists
I want to get this game so badly but I am so intimidated by the gameplay because I just don’t understand how it works. It just won’t click for me for some reason.
Totally understand where you are coming from. For me this game is a gem, the one thing you'll need to get through is understand "what is the question you're asking the machine", and what the machine's answer means
Try The Shipwreck Arcana. similar puzzles, but it’s cooperative so you can muddle through with friends and loved ones. Also, an overall smaller and more lightweight, compact game which might help with the intimidation factor. 👍

The first time I saw this, I wanted it. I know I’ll feel the same as you.

Well I suppose I guessed well then 😅😅😅

Definitely an incredibly clever game
Mike: I'm not very good at this game
Also Mike: beats an hard level on the first try
😂
Haha, I don’t know!!! I haven’t played against others enough to know if I’m good or average.
It's such an interesting game :)
there is some black magic in how this game works... I would love to know how the verifiers work :)
Right!?
I want to get this game so badly but I am so intimidated by the gameplay because I just don’t understand how it works. It just won’t click for me for some reason.
It took several plays to get the basic logic down for me, and I’m still freaked out to play the highest difficulty modes

Agree that shipwreck arcana is much easier to get into.
Analogue game is cool except if it requires an app to randomize and check answers that defeats the point.
It doesn't require it for several puzzles in the game (and others you can print out), but extends the life further.
