Final Thoughts

Like many abstract games, this is simple at first glance because the appeal (if you like this style) comes from strategizing during play. I’m not huge on abstract games in general, and this one was hard for me to wrap my head around. There are a lot of abilities, so you have to make sure you have a good grasp on them all so you know what you and your opponent are both capable of. On top of that, just being able to move a figure as far as you want in one direction means there are a lot of moves players can make each turn, and that can sometimes be overwhelming to visualize. If you like abstract games, this one does have a great look, so you might enjoy it!
