We’re Not Wizards Tabletop Podcast
Welcome to We're Not Wizards.
We talk about Tabletop, Board Games, Card Games and sometimes TTRPGs and D and D.

Joined once again by Eoin Costelloe and Ciara Costelloe, but not Brian. We chat about their latest escape room type puzzle game coming to Kickstarter extremely soon, as well as some general chat about pivoting your skills when the world is in lockdown, and why manufacturing has a long way to go to step out of China's shadow. It's great to catch up with them again and I hope you enjoy the episode.

This review is based on the retail version of the game provided to us by the designer and publisher. We were not paid for this review. We give a general overview of the gameplay and so not all of the mechanical aspects of the game may be mentioned.
The majority of the games that we are play are going to take a reasonable number of sessions and playthroughs to fully understand every possibility that they offer. We hope this write up gives you an idea of whether or not this game is something that you will consider playing or even add to your collection. Our Six Degrees of Expectation have been written to make it easier for you to find out what is important to you as a player. Even if we don't like something, hopefully it helps you to decide if it is something that you should find out more about. We always suggest you check out a gameplay video to give you a better understanding of the game as it is played.
